Overview
An unsuspecting family faces an unknown threat after taking a trip to their secluded cottage, and encountering a frenzied stranger who claims they are under attack from a powerful force of evil. Venturing deep into the Northern Minnesota wilderness for a quiet getaway with their father and step- mother, two grown siblings realize that something is terribly wrong when the family dog is brutally killed. Shortly thereafter, a wild-eyed man emerges from the woods and claims that he will fight to protect the family from the horrible menace lurking in the dark. As tensions rise and trust erodes, the only thing more deadly than what lurks outside becomes the growing dread within.

Viewing Notes
Babyface Najarra pre-plastic surgery was 18 years old when she made this. She’s also the best thing here. Overall this is not a very good movie but not terrible for a small indie horror flick shot in Hayward, Wisconsin but set in Minnesota. Most fascinating thing about this, which I only learned when I had to update all the cast & crew in TMDb, is that this is a remake of the same film by the same director with an completely different cast.
I’m curious to see the original movie which I guess must of been made prior to 2007 despite being listed with a 2009 release since most of this remake was shot in 2007 according to the commentary and behind the scenes clips. Kinda crazy this got a blu-ray release and was picked up by my library.
