A family's scenic road trip through the stark New Zealand high country becomes a waking nightmare in this chilling thriller. Schoolteacher Hoaggie, played by Erik Thomson, is enjoying a peaceful day out with his wife Jill Miriama McDowell and their two teenage sons when their isolation is shattered by the arrival of two mysterious drifters. The charismatic yet terrifying Mandrake Daniel Gillies and his hulking accomplice Tubs Matthias Luafutu initially seem like opportunistic criminals, but their intrusion quickly reveals a far more personal and sinister motive. As the family is forced on a harrowing journey into the wilderness, long-buried secrets from Hoaggie's past surface, blurring the lines between victim and perpetrator. Directed by James Ashcroft, the film masterfully builds an atmosphere of relentless dread and moral ambiguity, transforming a breathtaking landscape into a claustrophobic arena for a brutal psychological game where survival demands confronting the darkest of truths.
