65/100 In this Gothic tragedy, a man encounters a family in the forest after his car breaks down and discovers the curse of the Wurdulaks. This was a seriously dark character study of isolation with a stranger disrupting the affairs of a family frantically trying to end a curse which has destroyed the area. After the weird violent and erotic opening scenes, it becomes an extremely slow story taking its time to get to the final act but the characters were well developed, effectively acted and the story kept me locked in with a climax that hits real hard. Not bad. -- DrNostromo.com
