Story: Scott (Jon Foster) and Penny (Sarah Jones) just moved to a remote cabin to escape the pressures of the world and breathe new life into their art. But they’ll soon discover they are not alone: an infamously reclusive artist – known only as ‘Mr. Jones’ – lives nearby. He doesn't like to be disturbed, and only comes out at night when he drags his strange, sinister sculptures deep into the woods. When Scott and Penny’s curiosity leads them too close for Mr. Jones’ comfort, he plunges the young couple into a nightmare world of mayhem, madness and mind-bending terror.


Likes : watch this film start off pretty well in one direction as you see Scott with his girlfriend penny on a road trip for some video documentary which kinds of fall flat, until they meet a local legend or myth as you so call it Mr Jones who makes this creepy looking bizarre totems which have been sent out to people in the past.
Concept of this film is not bad as it doesn't start to get a bit weird half way through as i said it start off one director you can complete see where this is going when they discover Mr Jones house as it looks like something out of a physio killers hide out. But what this film does is take what you think is going to happen & complete throws it around on it self in another direction from what i could describe use's a quantum mechanic theory of a dreamscape nightmare world that really throw this film into a intense chaos twilight zone, twin peaks feel.
This is a some what of a found footage film, but i cant help but think this film could of been better with this as being two separate film, because it does start of pretty interest but kind of lose the concept at the end.    

Dislikes : I think what ruins this film, its not what you expect is going to happen if they kept Mr Jones as being this crazed mental serial killer this film might of worked but the way this film twist on its self it ruin the creep feel & put you i the world of messed up images weird nightmare dream state.It not a film i found scary but it was far from a brilliant film.

Overall : Not a bad film, intense but not scary, just a little weird, but not a bad effort.

Rating: 3.2 out of 5 for entertainment /  6 out of 10 for concept / twin peaks, twilight zone concept.
