.
Nearly two hours long, which was 30 minutes too long. Not a gripping film by any means. The other reviews on here giving this film five stars is boarder-line mental. If you feel that compelled to watch this film, on your own head be it ! Don't say you haven't been warned !

'Bloody' good film
Some gory bits at times but an excellent performance and great plot with nice twists and turns along the way. Oh and the great creepy music! A must watch.

Fantastic and beautifully grim
Guy Pearce was riding relatively high after the sublime LA Confidential when he made this excellent 'horror'. He and Robert Carlyle brought a strange mix of indie-hunk/Hollywood misfit to this gristly tale of cannibalism and magic, way out west.
From the opening premise of Guy as the failed hero - who can't eat a really awful looking bit of steak, to Robert's cracked preacher man who wanders in from the cold with a strange tale and a strange request - to rescue some poor families who are stuck out in the frozen hills.
The rescue mission develops into a bloody fight for survival - the two leads opposites of the same coin locked in a titanic struggle of good vs evil. This struggle culminates in a big old dust-up at the end and the ketchup really does flow..
This is one of those films that truly has the power to disturb - I still can't look at a fillet of beef in quite the same way..
