This movie was definitely better than expected. Admittedly, I only watched it because Jack Lowden was in it. But, I was glad in general that I gave it a chance. Of course, the story line wasn't anything new, and there was definitely a Deliverance-vibe. It was suspenseful, and tension-filled.
This film is atmospheric. It feels like it was written as a US film, something like Wrong Turn or Deliverance, but as this would be seen as having been done it was moved to the Scottish highlands. We follow two school friends reuniting for a hunting trip (as a Scotsman who knows nobody who has ever hunted or owns a rifle I found this odd) to the highlands. On their first, hungover, trip into the woods something goes wrong and their decisions made from then on land them in trouble with the locals.
The last half hour really dragged and could have been wrapped up so much quicker.
All in all, this feels like Deliverance meets the Wicker Man but while there are moments of excellence (the cinematography is excellent, and that first hunting scene is a real hard hitter) the pacing is all wrong.

Slow burner
Found this film on Netflix, not sure what I was expecting but it was more than what the film had to offer. It seemed to me to be a very slow burner, while the story was good I think things could have been a bit deeper with a bit more story. I'm not sure, it was worth a watch and the ending was tough to watch. But not what I expected.

Netflix original thriller. This movie turned out way better than expected. Really good acting and cinematography. The story unfolded beautifully and was pretty intense. These friends made some bad decisions on their hunting trip and it came back on them pretty hard. Not really a movie for kids, but nothing too terribly graphic. REALLY worth a watch!
