After their father (Michael Madsen) has been murdered, his three
estranged sons Pete (Owen Burke), Duffy (Christian Madsen) and Gus (Ryan
Carnes), along with Duffy and Gus's respective wives Laurel (Kenzie
Dalton) and Emma (Zoe Chait), and Duffy's son Louie (Frank Peluso 3)
convene in the Oregon mountains to spread his ashes in a certain river.
They're warmly welcomed by their father's neighbours, especially patriarch
Reynolds (Michael Biehn), while his niece Rachael (Caroline Vreeland) soon
enough catches the attention of Duffy, and at one point she lures him away
to have a nice time in a barn while leaving Louie with her family. But
when Duffy returns to pick up Louie, he's gone, and everyone else is gone
as well. He regroups with his brothers to go and look for Louie, and it
now turns out that Pete, who has spent most of his youth in a psychiatric
institution and hasn't been himself since, seems to know more about what
has happened to Louie than he lets on - maybe more than he consciously
knows himself even. But what the three brothers ultimately uncover are not
too comfortable facts that might have to do with a local Satanic circle
that has made it its habit to kidnap young boys of Louie's age - and back
when, Pete had almost been one of them. But knowing this is one thing,
finding and freeing Louie is still quite another ...
A very cool piece of horror of the rural Satanists-variety,
one that takes time to unfold its mystery and sets up the stage for its
finale with great care, giving the audience only glimpses of what will
ultimately happen along the way, and making good use of its locale to
generate an atmosphere of inexpicable threat along the way. The
directorial effort thus is fittingly restrained to not hammer things home
with a sledgehammer while the cast stands strong to make their characters
work. Well worth a look for sure.
