    • Goofs
      The antagonist sits out in the open on a day cold enough to keep an frozen lake from melting without protection for his face. Frostbite would have set in with 30 minutes to 1 hour and made the scenario he was trying to stage implausible to anyone who examined the scene.

    Worth Your Time
    Extremely clever (and entertaining) thriller. Almost dialogue free but in no way does that come off as a "gimmick" but rather some how adds to the tension and terror. Should be required viewing for all independent filmmakers.
