Let's get the bad out of the way first. There is very little gore and a small body count. It also took a little while for people to die. But once it's 30 minutes in, there's already quite a little bit of suspense. The acting was quite good, in fact surprisingly good, and the setting was just stunning. The cinematography and soundtrack definitely help with the terrifying mood. The eerie whistle motif heard throughout was simple and scary. Plus, the opening death was one of the best slasher deaths out there. Overall, it's a scary, well made slasher flick that definitely deserves more attention.
