Another folk horror masterpiece from Brit Ben Wheatley, this time shot on a micro budget and under Covid 19 conditions.
A virus is ravaging the cities. A scientist sets out to find a colleague / ex-girlfriend who is researching deep in the woods. Soon unpleasant events and encounters occur. Nature strikes back...
There are several references, quotations: from the 70s slasher to Shining, Long Weekend or Tarkovsky's Stalker.
The use of music, editing and nature is masterful.
The many very negative reviews come from people who watched with the wrong expectation and didn't know Wheatley's work beforehand.
