A father and daughter -- Marco and Cass (Craig Monk and Ashleigh Morrison) -- have found an old trunk covered with chains in the woods. They wonder what's inside and how much money they can make from what's inside, but perhaps when you find a chained-up chest buried in the mud you should just leave it there.
Directed and written by Travis Laidlaw, this is a film that builds to its inevitable gory and effects-filled conclusion. It's a very simple story, yet incredibly well-told and could be the start of a much longer movie that could explore these characters more. I loved the art direction of the poster and how the credits run backward at the end, too. Definitely worth a watch.
