The punishment doled out by the few townspeople on the two men are reminiscent of western films in an isolated setting, abiding only to the laws of small town justice.

The film truly tests the audience’s nerve in playing the waiting game, constantly on edge for the other shoe to drop.Īnother theme that is present is “cause and effect”. The unnerving experience of “everyone’s out to get you” and “they know” is truly immersive. The paranoia and anxiety amplified in the film revokes the dread in Hot Fuzz (2007). The limited timeline and location are perfect in creating suspense. Keep in mind that this film tells of a story set within 3 nights in a small town that relies on tourism provided by forest-lovers and hunting fanatics. Boy, was I wrong! The forest setting of the films is where the similarities end. This film is a Netflix production and the whole hunting/hiking-in-the-woods premise reminded me strongly of a prior Netflix film Ritual (2017) I had watched recently. Synopsis: Vaughn and Marcus are lifelong friends go on a hunting trip together but an accident occurs that tests their morals and friendship.
