About

You’ll likely enjoy this if you want folk-tinged creature horror with a remote-woods setting, steady dread, and a family-in-peril hook; Not for you if you hate familiar setups or vague mythology like in Southbound.

Pros: eerie Irish woodland atmosphere; tense creature attacks; strong central performances | Cons: familiar cabin-in-woods setup; slow, drawn-out first half; muddled, silly finale
