a man, unnamed, is surviving by himself in the wild. we know there are others around because he has set up all kinds of traps and alarms. somehow, two women show up on his property unannounced. of course, only a woman could be smart enough to get through his defenses. (this is a joke). anyway, the younger woman has just what our survivalist wants and he lets them stay and share his bounty. of course, the women have something in mind. the film has a real look and surviving looks tough. it seems like not much happens, but, in fact, a lot does. it's violent and unpleasant in some ways, but intriguing. not for everyone, obviously, because you have to anticipate, instead of knowing what's coming two hours ahead.
