Synopsis: A family goes out on vacation to a friend's house on the mountains. An incident puts them in contact with some local deer hunters.
Appraisal: Working from the familiar premise of the vacation-gone-terribly-wrong , it skillfully builds up an atmosphere of tension, while inserting fantastic elements into the story in an effective way. The individual sequences are masterfully devised and staged, with an eye to character psychology, thus giving the film a dimension that is not common in the horror genre. The actors are fine, with a special mention to the 'wife'. A film not to be missed; number 10 in my Favorite Movies list for 2001.
