Annie's (Jennifer Blanc) life is in jeopardy after she's witnessed the horrific rape and murder of her closest friend. Fleeing from two attackers (Ryan Honey, Denny Kirkwood) she stumbles across kyle (Michael Biehn), a recluse living in the middle of the woods. Kyle finds the stillness of the woods comforting. The ruggedly handsome loner stays far from civilization - that is - until a single knock on his door throws his solitary life into chaos. Two worlds collide in this psychological thriller that will make you question your trust in mankind.

For the most part, this IS a pretty satisfying movie. I just think I probably expected too much from it so *maybe* I'm being a little harsh and unfair. Oh well. Still, for a film shot in under two weeks, it's pretty damn impressive.

6/10 quality, 6-7/10 entertainment.
