This beautiful indie movie punches above its weight class, with a cast of unknown actors delivering powerful performances. The themes of paranoia and isolation dance nicely with modern conversations about gaslighting and victim blaming.
I say the actors are unknown, but that won't be the case for long; Holly Kenney is a dramatic and powerful tour de force, walking the line of a woman on the edge of hysteria or revelation. Brendin Brown shows impressive, jaw dropping range that ramps up the intensity to a fever pitch. TA Spencer's performance is so good, you can't look away- simultaneously charged with tension and energy, and grounded with measured restraint. Devon Stewart is wildly charismatic and Radek Antczak's nuanced performance complements and balances the group dynamic. Paris Nicole shines as Kenney's effervescent, well meaning best friend. Even Koda the dog is a star!
The aesthetics of this movie are stunning. Director Adam Newacheck and Cinematographer Travis Prow crafted a film that captures the natural beauty of the woods, and the unsettling, out of place/time/other worldliness of a stranger's cabin.
The devotion and craftsmanship poured into this movie are evident and delivers on a much higher level than other first time indies. Mark this one, so you can say you saw them all right before they became household names.
(Also...I want that picky picky picky apron)
