I was initially interested in this film because of the creepy poster, which convinced me to watch it, but I'm afraid the end result was utterly disappointing. I would say that some awards for awful acting should be given out here, because in some scenes it was so horrendous that it seemed the actors were purposely trying to embarrass themselves.
A couple, their sister and her latest one night stand (the vilest d******* on the face of the planet) all decide to go off for the weekend to a relative's house, which will give them all the opportunity for some alone time, or rampant sex in the sister's case. Once there, the one night stand (disturbingly named Tristan) immediately needs to make lots of secretive phone calls, as well as be thoroughly repulsive to the people who have driven him up to the house, and he suddenly feels like he needs to get some air and some milk from a local shop ten minutes away. Not weird at all. You can tell he's dodgy from square one, and that's not even a spoiler. What is weird however is when a hitchhiker appears, bloody and in pain, demanding medical attention (oh and the woman just happens to be a qualified nurse) and the delightful 'Tristan' refuses to lend at hand whatsoever. Add a hilariously tragic fishing trip and some inappropriate touching and you have this movie. Oh, and the local policeman appears at the beginning to let the characters know that a deranged serial killer called 'The Tree Surgeon' is on the loose. Fabulous.
