It's already terrifying the thought of being lost deep in a forest, that's one of the reasons why I always avoid going deeper in forests but add to that being injured? And add to that coming (almost) face to face with a mysterious supernatural entity? That's an absolute nightmare, I would feel completely helpless and scared. I think that the way this creature was able to perfectly hide itself even behind the smallest trees was a really smart idea, I don't remember seeing something like that before. I think the ending was very good. My guess is that after the last scene the backpacker gets brutally murdered or consumed by this creature. The design of the creature is really simple but smart and effective. Robin Collins (the backpacker) does a great job portraying the character. Just like Parker Finn's ''Laura Hasn't Slept'' this has a creepy and atmospheric horror vibe which I really like. Overall I think this short film is really solid (and creepy). My rating is 8/10.
