  • Psychological horror and prolonged threat.

  • The creatures in the woods appear to be very tall, they have long sharp claws, the face of a boar with tusks.
  • When one of the monsters spots the girl, it barks at her and they stare at each other about 10 feet apart, the scene is quiet and suddenly the monster springs into action chasing the girl. It is frightening because the attack is sudden and without warning.
  • Several pop-ups of the monsters can be rather frightening.
