Synopsis
The story is set in 1974. Four friends, Camilla, Roger, Mia and Jørgen go for a vacation in a forest. They stop at an inn and meet people and a girl who joins their group. Their newfound friend takes them on a journey to the deep end of the forest, where they become systematically hunted and killed for sport by a party of locals. The friends try to escape while avoiding a series of traps the trackers left on the place.

The film had mixed reviews, with a dice throw of 3 out of 6 in both Verdens Gang and Dagbladet,[1][2] and 4 given in Nettavisen and Dagsavisen.[3][4] ABC Nyheter had a different grading system, giving it 5 out of 10.[5]
Soundtrack
