A bunch of guys desperate for money kidnap an 8-year old boy and ask a large ransom. They take the boy to a remote location, and soon things start going very wrong.
Man, this was a creepy tale of pure evil! There were so many interesting twists and reveals. Each character had a back story contributing to their fate. Blake Woodruff is well cast as the boy, David (clever choice of name in the context of the film).
While Sidney (Michael Rooker) and especially Vince (Joel Edgerton) prove to be bad guys, Max (Josh Holloway) and his fiancée, Roxanne (Sarah Wayne Callies) are in the dire situation for very different reasons, and we root for them. Being pregnant, her motherly instincts are evident when she starts caring about David.
The film dishes up a number of very effective jump scares, and the wolves are terrifying in their own right. This is a diabolical film that will resonate with you even after the credits.
Would I watch it again? Yes.
