Atmospheric and loaded with potential

I kept seeing this pop up on my Amazon prime recommended and I gave in eventuality after reading the blurb.

I would say the story/background/set-up is actually incredibly good, the lore feels to me almost Alien-esque. The cinematography is very good and crisp and the general feel of the film is almost a crossover between Blair Witch/The ritual.

The story is really good and loaded with potential. I would say the final 5 mins are a little disappointing but the ideas and atmosphere built up prior are really good. If you've seen A Dark Song you'll understand what I mean.

It teases a sequel that I would absolutely love to see as the film is in essence a stripped down raw western with supernatural elements.

The acting is solid if a little overdone at times but I think that may be the fault of the dialogue but it serves it's purpose - I feel like it could've done with a little more nuance.

I would recommend this film for watching though as the idea and the execution are both intriguing and it doesn't spoon feed too much.
