Getting home after spending a day updating a relatives old computer system,I was in the mood to catch a easy-going flick. Learning of a cinema of Canada viewing challenge taking place on ICM,I looked on Netflix UK and found a Canadian title with a swift runtime,leading to me declining into a viewing.
View on the film:
Trekking to the wilderness with the group, co-writer/(with Charles Dionne and Nicolas Krief) director Patrice Laliberte goes from shorts and TV episodes into a feature film debut that makes a invented use of would-be jump-scares, via keeping Jason Sharp's shimmering electronic score low,which acts as a base for the sharp bursts of gunfire and creaking ice the group walk on as they thin out.
Storming out of the camp with a fantastic bruising final fight captured in long distorted shots being slammed against the wall, Laliberte closely works with cinematographer Christophe Dalpe in casting a chilly survival Thriller atmosphere over the first Quebec production from Netflix, from the warm colours tracked round the training camp on the first encounter of the group, seeping out to icy wide-shots of the chilly isolated woodland growing ever closer to them as blood drips across the pure snow.
Getting all of the gang together, the writers build increasing tension by digging into each of the gang members doomsday survivalist belief, which sets off a brutal implosion as they each find their beliefs of having escaped society for a remote ice cold camp site to shatter into murder, as the initial warmth they showed each other, starts to decline.
