Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe cast and crew actually lived in the cabins where the film is shot. They had no internet connection or cell service.
- GoofsJensen tells Olsen that he could make it to the Indian reserve, 90 to 100 miles away, in a day or a day and a half. In good walking conditions this might be just barely possible for a seasoned hiker; but not through mountainous terrain, in the dead of winter, with a foot of snow on the ground. Jensen has lived at the camp for three years, and would presumably know better.
- Quotes
Deer God: When an animal looks up at the night sky, what does it see? Thousands and thousands of tiny points. Then a man looks up at the same points and sees millions of stars; galaxies, within which are billions of planets. Do you want to know what I see? Were you there when I created the stars?

The atmosphere was effective; the story - to me - less so. The basic question once the madness began was whether this was a form of cabin fever - madness caused by the isolation the team was facing - or whether there was a supernatural element involved in all of this; something to do with this strange structure that the team uncovered. I'd lean toward the latter, but it wasn't entirely clear and the possibility of mass hysteria was certainly present.
The story is set over a period of about six weeks. i will confess that at times the story seemed to bog down and drag a little bit, so that the six weeks started to feel a bit literal at some points. But overall the movie was mildly interesting and the performances from the cast were decent enough, although I'm not sure I'd give this many marks for originality. It was - at best - OK. Nothing special, but not bad. (5/10)
