Over-imaginative 12 year-old Sam heads off to the woods to summer scout camp with his pack convinced he will encounter a monster...and he does.
Visually striking but dramatically flat Belgian horror from Jonas Govaerts.
Impressively nightmarish.
The weird traditions and customs of cubscouting are the USP of this effective Belgian horror about a group of boys on a excursion in a creepy forest.
Flemish horror film becomes nastier, more sadistic and ever more derivative.
Not much adventure. Not much horror.
The film creates a pleasing air of mystery that director Jonas Govaerts sadly loses all interest in sustaining.
An eccentric build-up and some ingenious booby-trappery can’t quite compensate for the plotting holes in this cub scout slasher movie.
