I'm American and the garbage coming out of Hollywood the last 15 years has been repulsive. This well shot movie was not exactly a horror film but a coming of age picture about a young man who watches his dreams slip away as all of our generation has and we have to go home to tell the most important people in our lives we have failed only to see the beautiful countryside towns we grew up in have gasped their last breaths without the people who have fought to keep them alive, our town matriarchs. There is always someone stealing from the hardworking people in small towns, we have always been abused and our elderly have hidden most of this abuse from us with fairytales and dreams of going to the city or a far away place for a better life but they are not understanding that when we all get to that golden age we need our history , our people and without them crammed into a city we are nothing without our families. Watching a small town slowly die to outsiders who want to bring industry and change always scares our elders. They are the most valuable treasure and the only thing that teaches us this lesson is loss and time.

So much more than folklore it's about the death of small towns and a generation.
