Whoever made this must have done Graham Cantwell's course in the Irish Film Academy? Similar though not as ambitious or rushed as his feature. A weirdo lives in a forest and kills a publican, people then investigate. Good but unsuitable camera work, powerful music on the soundtrack, terrible acting with one good performance by Pascal Scott, woodland setting, contrived story, interesting locations, laughable dialogue, and too much technical ability. It's a dire effort that seems to have everyone involved assume they've made something special. Like Anton some tool with a camera, computer, and connections decided to make a 'rural thriller' but forgot to add intelligence and talent! Hate criticising this non-Film Board stuff but these slick Irish films that use style over substance are never good.
