    A hunting trip doesn't go as planned . . .

    I was hoping for some type of human like deer creature hunting them but I guess the old 1980’s psycho killer family is a solid trope that works.

    I had a friend in college who was from Plainfield WI (USA). It's a nice small Midwestern town. It just happens to be where Ed Gein was from. Across the road from my friends' grandparents farm was an abandoned farm. While riding a motor scooter around that property,at sunset, the hairs on the back of neck would stand up and I feel a real creepiness. One of the characters from the movie Silence of the Lambs was based on Ed Gein. My friend Todd told me that his grandparents had known Ed. I don't know if he had lived across that road or not.

    Very well done. Loved that added details, the ring specifically, that elevated the film above a simple jump scare flick.
    If I may, this isn't criticism, but I would like to make kind of a suggestion. While there are times people get away clean, authorities are baffled, "without a trace." Storytelling wise, you'd think there would be some cost for such violence. That ring could have been the "clue" to trigger someone's intuition something very, very wrong is going on. And lead to the sequel I really want to see.
