Goofs

At 1:00:48 into the movie, Hans is pointing a Mauser rifle at Tom, Jody and Samantha with the safety straight up. That would put a Mauser rifle on safe and lock the bolt in place as well as blocking the sights. At 1:17:39 Hans is threatening Hans with the safety straight up, again putting the rifle on safe, blocking the sights and locking the bolt.

User Reviews

Simple and effective

An indy without benefit of name director or stars, this is still one worth catching for those who prefer their supernatural in the tradition of "Outer Limits" or "The Twilight Zone". In true Serling-esque fashion three strangers arrive separately at the abandoned cabin that forms the setting for most of the story, one that convincingly fleshes out recognizable relationships between a man and two women who at first share little more in common than a need to get home. Each failed trip into the woods reveals something of their situation and each other, moving steadily toward a final revelation kept well under wraps.

Limited locale puts extra reliance on the cast and they deliver solidly. Special credit though goes to Sara Paxton, who so impressed in "The Innkeepers", as the petty thief skirting the edge of control.

For an obvious work of limited resources, "Enter Nowhere" makes excellent use of them all to come up with one of the better small films I've seen in a while.
