Deep within the darkness of secluded forest land in rural Ireland dwells an ancient evil. Feared by the nearby superstitious villagers as cursed creatures who prey upon the lost, their secrets have been kept from civilization and remain on their hallowed ground. But when a conservationist from London moves in with his wife and infant child in order to survey the land for future construction, his actions unwittingly disturb the horde of demonic forces. Alone in a remote wilderness, he must now ensure his family’s survival from their relentless attacks.

Viewing Notes
Movie #2 of Day Two!
Feels like a Netflix movie. Which is to say, this is the kind of film you’ll find when searching NWI for something to watch and pass the time. Much like other horror flicks from Ireland, this is a competent, well-made movie with good acting. But it lacks the spark to elevate it above the material. I do like the faeries as forest monsters; they look like creatures out of Guillermo del Toro’s notes.
Not a bad watch but nothing terribly special. I do like Bojana Novakovic quite a bit here.
