An appropriate title as the film deals more in creepy atmosphere suspended by beautiful cinematography than actual substance. Recently acquainted Tom and Lucy make a romantic detour on their trip to meet friends at a festival. Through a series of wrong turns and strange occurrences they find themselves lost. In this minimalist affair only three characters are ever introduced. The third, Max (Allen Leech) adds the final dose of suspense as he treads the line of disturbed victim/psychotic thrill-seeker. Much of the film saunters about adrift but even in the third act it lost my attention at points. While lacking originality, it does stand above many in its genre with its effectively dreadful ambiance.
