Tom (played by Iain De Caestecker) and his girlfriend Lucy (Alice Englert) were on their way to a music festival in Ireland when they became disoriented. The secluded, dimly lit country roads started feeling unsettling, and they noticed peculiar objects suspended from the trees—though not yet for the audience. They then inadvertently struck Max (Allen Leech), and the mood inside the car deteriorated as their injured passenger cheerfully provoked them, leading to arguments and a sense that maybe, seriously, Max wasn’t who he seemed to be at first glance. While director Jeremy Lovering's cinematography does contribute somewhat to an atmosphere of unease, the narrative feels unoriginal, and the performances resemble those of a student film. I doubt anyone would remain surprised by the plot's progression even twenty minutes in, and as the story progresses through increasingly frantic and profane situations, it descends into a disappointing horror movie. The characters were simply not engaging, and the depiction made Ireland seem much larger than it is—so large that you could hardly appreciate the pleasant countryside. I suppose I should be more forgiving, given its low budget and independent status; however, those factors don't excuse a weak story or inadequate acting, both of which are unfortunately present here.
