Synopsis

A man buries a trap in the snow, then blows a whistle to attract his prey. He has some kind of futuristic-looking glasses with a laser sight.

Later, the hunter goes into a store and buys a cooler. We hear on the radio in the background that there have been disappearances, and the police have little to go on.

He stops at a gas station for a fill up, and the station’s attendant hears something growling in the back of the man’s truck.

There’s a young couple that passes the gas station, and we hear that they’re going camping. They find their spot and start to set up camp.

The man with the truck and the big gun pulls up behind them, and then things get wild…

Commentary

Why? What is it? Who is he?

There are way more questions than answers here. Still, everything looks really good, it almost makes me want to go camping in the snow. Almost. The acting is all superb, the cinematography is awesome, and even the soundtrack is good.

It’s not a whole story, but you definitely get enough to be intrigued. I know I’d like to see more!
