Had to comment. How anyone rates this an 8 9 or 10 is beyond me. Wooden acting, poorly done, just no way it should be ranked this high. Beautiful scenery, give that an 8, but as for the movie, NO! I kept watching till the end thinking the payoff might be there, but the ending is no better if not worse than the rest of it. My rating of 5 is generous!

This is the second folk horror feature directed by George Popov and written by Popov and Jonathan Russell.

Although the film does not feel derivative, we can certainly see the influence of classics of the genre, like The Wicker Man and Kill List. There is also something of Get Carter in here too.

The film is at its best when concentrating on the impressive landscapes and the main protagonist. Some of the other performers are not as strong and the climax is let down slightly by this.

However, the film has a good story and score and is definitely worth a watch for fans of the folk horror genre, who will find plenty to enjoy in it.

Ex-military man Martin is investigating the disappearance of his sister after a festival called The Droving. He has no qualms in using his military training to get information out of people as needed. He tracks several different lines of enquiry which are dark and dangerous.

Daniel Oldroyd carries and makes this film good, he is strong, engaging and charismatic. The story lacks substance and depth but it has just enough of an edge to hold your interest. The characters are interesting and I think the whole concept is good and could have been developed further.

Overall it's a good British movie, well-made and engaging.
