See the films the platforms disagree about most →A grieving couple retreats to an isolated cabin in the woods following the tragic death of their son. Their attempt to heal transforms into a dark and surreal descent into madness. The forest itself seems to become a manifestation of their anguish, as nature, sexuality, and psychological terror intertwine in a harrowing experience.
