An ok horror movie for about 2/3 of its runtime goes unfortunately far over the top and histrionic for the third act. A pioneer family in a covered wagon takes a wrong turn and gets lost in the woods. Soon another lost traveler stumbles out of the woods, miracles happen like the blind son regains his sight, and they hear a booming sound they assume to be God. It’s not. Slightly better for a lot of it than that sounds, mostly because of pretty good acting, but again, unfortunately it doesn’t hold up, as their attempts to ratchet up the tension just turn to religious hysteria and screaming and it just, paradoxically, loses all interest. Sometimes filmmakers forget the value of quiet.
