Found it likeable...in a High Tension sort of way...An updated I Spit on Your Grave perhaps, but without the rape-y scenes that make most squirm in their seat. It's not a "depth" film, as some of the reviewers apparently were led on to believe, but a throwback to the 70s-80s slasher/exploitation. I guess there wasn't much plausibility in those films either---stare at the screen and just take it in, stop looking for plot holes and believable script. It's almost like a full generation missed the boat on these sub-genres of film and race to the imdb page to pan a decent film.
These are probably the same people that walk out of films at Sundance, as some form of self-righteous protest.
Let's just say, this is one of those throwback films, but with a different spin, and not necessarily because it is European---but some symbolic references in nature to the 'Big Bad Wolf' and the "babe in the woods" (ala Red Riding Hood), campside storytelling--- nothing, again, too deep, just adds to the story a bit.
If you liked the film 'Revenge' from a few years back, this one sits in the same headspace, but less of the desert and more of the woods. Good cinematography and sound editing and very tautly directed.
