It's lockdown times in the pandemic era, and things aren't going too well for restaurateur Eula (Chantelle Han) and bartender Morris (Charles Boyland) - but they have a plan: They are to visit Captain Reuben (Michael Copeman), an army friend of Eula's deceased grandfather, under some pretense or other, and somehow get their hands on the priceless truffle that grows on his land - by force if it can't be helped otherwise. Of course, there's several hitches to the plan, one that he lives straight in the middle of nowhere, doesn't like visitors, and is known to have a bit of a temper when it comes to intruders - and everybody they meet along the way warns Eula and Morris of just that. But our heroes have come prepared, bringing medals of Eula's grandfather with them to legitimize themselves - and indeed they are let into his place, heck, Reuben even shows them some of his priceless truffle. It just soon becomes apparent he has no intention to part with it - and unfortunately Morris has brought a gun to the meeting. This leads to him soon leaning against a tree, wounded and on the verge of bleeding to death shouldn't help arrive soon, and Eula getting lost in the woods trying to get help, while Reuben's coming after her with bow and arrow. But there's quite a bit of spunk left in Eula ...

A very suspenseful piece of survival horror with faint traces of Most Dangerous Game, Peppergrass sure is excellent when it comes to building up tension, from its seemingly random and almost comical set-up that serves for character building to its very tight final shoot-out. And the whole thing's brought to life by a small but solid ensemble, with especially Chantelle Han, who basically carries the movie, giving a strong performance. But what really makes the movie is its atmosphere, with its gloomy, wintery landscapes giving the thing a feel of doom. And all this results in a highly entertaining genre piece.
