Comment
A young woman, her father and uncle go to their remote lakeside vacation house to renovate it. However when the uncle goes into town, she and her father are trapped inside and attacked and chased round the house. Despite a few faults with the plot, this is a surprisingly good piece of low budget horror. It has the novelty of being filmed to look like real time and as a continuous take. This leads to some creative camera work and some effective scenes. The film is made by the performance of Elizabeth Olsen as the young woman becoming increasingly panicked by the situation. She delivers an emotional performance but without becoming hysterical.
