Have just seen the Premier of this at the Berlin Film Festival. Think of Truffaut's 'Wild Child' played out as a typical 'Hidden monster in the woods' horror movie and you won't be far out. There are some genuinely creepy moments but these sadly are few and far between and at the screening I attended the audience were howling with laughter (rather than fright) at some of the supposedly scary scenes. The banal dialogue was also the subject of some laughter from the audience though this could have been due to poor translation of the subtitles. Despite all the weaknesses I quite enjoyed it in a 'so bad it's good' sort of way, but if you're looking for genuine spills and thrills look elsewhere!
