I fully, wholeheartedly disagree with this reviewer that it’s not worth seeing in theaters! I have AMC’s movie pass deal, and I randomly picked this movie to watch last night , and was completely captivated. Some might call it a bit of a slow burn, but I think that’s what I found captivating. It’s like, through the setting (Scotland, but looks kinda like rugged Greenland imo), blocking, and sound design, they somehow bottled up that feeling of understated-yet-electric alertness that happened when you’re in the woods at dusk, alone, and hear a noise. Or hell, even when you hear a noise at the edge of the yard while taking the dog out at 3am lol. This movie is, imho, a subtly riveting depiction of the more nuanced aspects of the primal survival drive that threads through all of humanoid-kind, from way back then through modern day.
If I absolutely had to compare it to something, in pacing and tone, I MIGHT say Upstream Color. But overall, it’s a very unique and refreshing film, imo.
@@DannyD-lr5yg Glad you liked it! I'll have to rewatch it and see how I feel on a second go. There was too much that took me out of the movie though that might be hard to look past.
I’ve only seen you and one other person review it. I wanted to check it out but it’s limited so I’ll probably end up watching at home.
Yeah, definitely not necessary to see in theaters (or at all).

@@DannyD-lr5yg I just saw it and reviewed it on my channel if you’re interested.
