I watch horror movies...a lot. I was drawn to this one because of Melissa George whom I think is a good actress and she's not afraid to push herself to deliver an – what some might call – over the top performance. It works well in movies, especially when balanced out with some 'quiet' characters. The plot looks somewhat like this: a group of friends, a cabin in mountains, bad guys and a frantic chase. Don't want to reveal more because this is not why you, fellow thriller/horror fans, should see it. I recommend it wholeheartedly because it is a well written and well executed screenplay spiced up with a nail biting, heart stopping moments. What is more discomforting than a climber on a rope fighting for life? We had a bunch of movies like this, and some based on true stories (Touching the Void, North Face) but in this particular one the idea was to deliver a thrill and to keep your eyes glued to the screen. It is not an Oscar nominee so don't raise your expectations too high. What you will get though is nearly 100 mins of entertainment, beautiful Scottish highlands, interesting plot and another solid performance form Melissa George.Enjoy.
