With Iain De Caestecker's performance as a standout element, this "car invasion" film is a little bit _Wrong Turn_ (2003) and a little _Duel_ (1971). It delivers thrills and a great atmosphere.

The first third of the movie has a great claustrophobic vibe in setting and direction but once the "story" progresses it gets too unrealistic to the point where I didn't really get the antagonists motivations or scope of his doings. Could have been great if only they went a different direction and left out some of the clichés.

The Forest at night looked terrifying, and I thought they were just spooky in daylight. Our actors are portraying their characters with great effectiveness, I'm having trouble not wishing them a terrifyingly horrible adventure. It just got scary, I nearly dropped my drink. We've another player on the board now, unsure of his status or his true intentions for now. If you're still here, then you've got to freaking be losing your mind about now. ...Sadism at its ugly worst...

They never told us what happened at the pub 🙃

An efficient little suspense film that doesn't last long enough to get old. Reminiscent of Dead Calm but on land or The Hitcher on a smaller scale or Deliverance but less rapey.
