1/10
All that was missing were mountain bikes

Warning: Spoilers
On the face of it, this story is about a well-groomed group of middle eastern tourists who get lost in a modern Scottish Scandinavian-pine forest and are hunted by Robin from Ghosts.

The level of personal grooming - fashionable stubble and clipper cuts for the menfolk, hipster mullets for the womenfolk and pristine dentistry - for 45,000 y.a. Is staggering.

Most of the landscape is clear of the dense forests that would have been typical at that time and when there is a forest, it's - yes - modern Scandinavian-pine with all the many ancient metres of undergrowth cleared out and nice equally-spaced Forestry Commission plantations. All that is missing here is a passing mountain bike.

A lot of time spent on the bespoke language, which I guess in theory could be middle-eastern sounding. But not as much time as has been spent on the tailored trousers and skin care.

Piercings, jewellery and tattooing of the time is missing, along with any original plot.

Also very boring and predictable scenes and story. Not scary.
