REVIEW AND SYNOPSIS

This film works. Really works. And you know why? The plot is simple. Basically, four friends filming a documentary walk into the woods and stumble upon one of the books of the dead. Soon they all become possessed. Doesn't sound impessive, but it is. This is edge of your seat horror at its finest. There isn't any complexities that simply confuse the story. These is clean cut and doesn't rely on special effects. Two dismembered thumbs up. 1
