The Plot.

The story revolves around an ethologist working in the remote woods, trapping animals and mounting cameras on them so that he can monitor their behavior remotely.

The resulting recordings lead him to a remote village, the site of an ancient curse, where he is trapped due to heavy rain fall raising the level of the river and flooding out the only access...

I saw this in Italian with no subtitles and I do not speak Italian. For the most part, there was no need in that there is little dialog. And the dialog that is there doesn't impede your understanding of the movie if you don't understand it.

I thought the movie was pretty decent, if a bit slow. It's atmospheric in nature and takes it's time.

I don't agree with the clown who gave this one star. He must not like intelligent movies.

The biggest pitfall of this film is that it really is too slow. That's too bad because it could have been great.

The guy, lone in this rinky dink "village" sure is brave. I'd have high tailed it out of there with the first sign of weirdness and that came before the rains!

As it stands, I'm giving it an 8 because I liked the concept as well as the execution. And it was a bit unique. It's hard to pull off a story with virtually one character and no dialog. I think they did it.

Points off because as I say earlier, it's a bit too slow.
