Excellent, especially if you know the myth

Doesn't accomplish everything it wants to, but I admire the effort. It has a nice sort of drive-in Aguirre aesthetic.

Crounse adopts a Val Lewton-like approach, and his hallucinatory horror tale definitely has its black-magic moments -- naked ghosts come and go, living faces form on haunted trees, and blood flows from the earth. This also succeeds in conveying the tenuous nature of frontier survival. Though flawed by a sluggish pace and slack acting, this is worth a look.

Usually I applaud any attempt to do something new and different with the horror genre, but this is as dull as dust. And incoherent, to boot
