All Kathy (Sandra Elaine) and John (Todd Stroik) wanted to do was having a lovely stroll through mother nature before getting drunk on mimosas back at their hotel. And they're well aware that the stretch of forest they have chosen is said to have been the scene of some brutal killings - but that sounds like little more than the stuff of urban legends - and even if not, these murders have all happened in the past, so why worry? Why indeed, it's not as if there was a masked psycho with a chainsaw (Andrew Pierson) right around the corner ...

Made basically as a proof of concept for a feature film of the same name to come, this shortstnds well enough on its own feet as a slasher miniature that might not have much to offer in terms of plottwists or surprise reveals, but brings its story and backstory across in an economic fashion, has its relatable characters (even if they ll end up as cannon fodder), its chases and jump scares, suspense and bloody dismemberment. Maybe not the re-invention of the wheel, there's still plenty for the dedicated horror fan to like.
