I usually LOVE "a young couple in the woods" movies...but this just misses the mark over and over! A man and his dying wife go to a cabin where she can live out the rest of her life. The wife one night is assaulted by a stranger, and the local Sheriff doesn't much believe him, nothing comes of it. (At this point maybe it's time to go home...) now the next day the man goes for a run, sees the same man raping a young girl, scares he man off and takes the girl home (maybe now go home..?) at this point the man calls a doctor up who upon inspecting the girl says only, "she'll be fine"...WOW! Yeah, she was just raped but she will sleep it off!!! Also he lets the sheriff know and the sheriff has the young girl stay with him and his wife! (Is this even legal?) now I won't spoil the rest but you can guess where this might all lead, young pretty girl, dying wife, and a very horny husband...yep. The couple adopts her and they go to Wally World! I wish, that'd have been a good movie.

When I first popped this is my DVD player I have to say I wasn't expecting all that much, but I was pleasantly surprised at how much I enjoyed this story. Of course like any movie it has it's flaws but there was a point about a third of the way through when it got really good. The acting is also well done for an "indie" (especially the young girl and James Russo). And the cinematography is especially outstanding. Of course, the locations seem limited because it's an indie flick, but I found that to not take away from the story too much, especially since it's shot so beautifully and a lot of it out in nature in the beautiful woods. I give this movie a solid 7 out of 10.

OMW! I must have watched the first third of a different movie from the first reviewer. One of the industry reviews described the film as 'Dark and moody'.... Well duh..that's because there must not have been any money in the budget for even half-decent lighting,yet,most shooting was indoors!!!!!Thank goodness the fireplace gave off some light. You know you are wasting your time watching this film,when the local cop shows up and gruffly shrugs off a witnessed home-invasion/sexual assault and doesn't even take notes or talk to the victim (who for some insane reason is observing from the staircase keeping quiet)and the victim's husband/witness simply shrugs his shoulders and accepts this??? You know that bit was a portent for even sillier unbelievable inaction.The rape victim/waif....made no sound as she was being humped,however,when the husband of victim #1,inexplicably walks away from the scene,where he has just seen the same dude (since identified by the indolent cop as the local harmless half-wit)committing another sexual assault,the waif suddenly starts screaming.......right on cue !!This movie was just awful and I didn't have to pay to see it but yet I still feel ripped-off.

I saw this movie recently. Don't know if its out in theaters or when it will be but it should be. Movies like this, especially independent ones, sadly are not made anymore. Its all horror and really lame (almost sad) "comedies". This movie is a hauntingly beautiful tragic story which has some scenes that I would compare to "happiness". A movie that I love but is so disturbing for its realistic and never talked about content (that's really inspiring!). And that's the same journey that this film takes you through. Every character is so desperate for some kind of connection with their surrounding characters and does not achieve their goals! Awesome. Because that is what's real. A lot of filmmakers are not this bold and I tip my hat to the director. I encourage everyone to, if this ever comes out, GO SEE IT!
