really dark and pretty boring

this is filmed horrible.... black half the time can't see anything. turned off at 30min. won't do again.

That was a lot of fun! Don't let that awful poster fool you. _The Retreat_ is a solid queer horror thriller packed with great suspense. It's short and tightly paced. The story is quite simple, a gay female couple is invited to a cabin in the middle of nowhere by their friends who's a married gay male couple. Instead of having fun they're being watched and hunted by the locals. The two female leads are fantastic. I like their delivery, I was rooting for them! The kills are violent enough. For a low budget, the production is surprisingly good and I love the cinematography. My issue with this film is most of the night scenes are poorly lit. I had trouble seeing what's going on because it's too dark. I can't tell if it's just another how-well-can-you-see-in-the-dark technique or they cut the lighting budget. All in all, it's fun and thrilling, I enjoyed it immensely.

Ignore all the bad reviews, this movie was pretty solid!

Got a little past the halfway mark and turned it off. It's basically Hostel and I have no patience or interest in watching sadism for the sake of sadism.
