Director David Bruckner makes evocative use of the Scandinavian setting and a dedicated cast to deliver a handsome -- if familiar -- horror story.

Adam Nayman The Ringer This steely British import examines the cost of male-bonding rituals...it's nice to see a horror movie really go for it in the home stretch. Jul 31, 2018 Full Review Simon Abrams RogerEbert.com The most disappointing kind of bad horror movie: the kind that's too smart to be this dumb. Rated: 2/4 •  Feb 9, 2018 Full Review

Garrett B It was not boring but probably wont watch again. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 05/07/25 Full Review Logan D Six months after a shared tragedy, four friends go hiking in the mountains of Sweden and deal with horrors within and without. I love moral quandaries and the opening segment resulted in me proposing the situation to various friends. It's difficult to say how we would act in the face of a threat and we shouldn't judge the character's reactions too harshly. But those reactions do result in consequences they must engage. I loved the scenery though I wish it had been actually filmed in Sweden instead of Romania just to know what those forests actually look like. I found the film engaging due to strong characterization albeit in need of better editing and having some horror tropes. The design of the monster is excellent. Just so you know, the runes are accurate. An intelligent horror film. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 05/05/25 Full Review
