Blind kid and mom live in a dark dead forest, looks like some post-apocalyptic world, she teaches him how to survive alone and be always tethered to a long rope to avoid getting lost, one day in the forest he finds a big heavy chain, mom fast takes him away from there, even more strange, mom tells him to always throw food to some part of the forest, one night mom reads him a tale about fierce creatures that killed people, then mom just leaves at the middle of the night without explanation, the blind kids grows up alone, catches small animals in traps and throws part of them in that part of the forest, someday a hunter kills a deer, it's an average man, shares the food with him, the hunter finds mom's diary, it says they (mom, dad and blind kid) can't live with the rest of people, then there is a horrible roar outside, the hunter goes to the forest to hunt the animal, he finds another big heavy chain coming from a small den, there is a notebook inside, he doesn't come back so the blind guy goes to the forest to try to find him, he does, but the hunter is already dead, from the den comes out mom in chains, she's different, looks like part human part werewolf or something else, her eyes are like alligator eyes, he knows there is someone there but he doesn't know its mom, he sings because he's nervous, she responds to the song and sings too, he recognizes her, she attacks him and he kills her with a knife, then, his white blind eyes turn alligator style.
It's a great dark beautiful movie in a low budget, full of questions that all get answered at the end : it's not post-apocalyptic, its just a family that went to live deep in the forest because they know they turn into dangerous creatures, the first heavy chain was dad's, mom left because she knew she was turning into a creature, the blind guy turned into creature at the very end, without rope or chain he will probably go to kill uncontrolled, the food they throw at the specific part of the forest was to feed dad and later for mom. Great story, great performances, great photography, sound and customs, the story develops slowly so the viewers have time to process the pieces of the puzzle that we get one by one. We need more movies like this.
