I watched this British film mainly because I really like British-accent English.
The second reason was that I read an article praising this film. I thought since Netflix was available and the movie was also on the same platform, I should watch it.
The story is about five friends. One of their friends is killed during a robbery at a shop. To honor his soul, the remaining friends go hiking in the mountains of Sweden. While hiking, they lose their way in the forest and end up in an abandoned and deserted cottage. Because of heavy rain, they decide to stay there for the night. After that, strange and mysterious events begin to happen. Their hidden fears start coming out, and as time passes, mistrust grows among them. Slowly, the forest itself becomes their biggest enemy.
The best thing about this film is that fear is shown through atmosphere and filming, without relying on obvious scary creatures, which makes it very enjoyable to watch.
I think most of you may have already seen this film. Those who have watched it, please share your opinions, and those who haven’t should definitely give it a try.

I really liked this movie. Yes, the ending could’ve been better, a lot better, but it was really psychologically thrilling and spooky, especially for a Netflix movie. I’m really impressed with Netflix’s content lately.
