I went into this knowing absolutely nothing, and I suggest you do the same. The movie is a little slow, but somehow the pacing works as it builds suspense. The acting is surprisingly superb, I never felt like anyone was phoning it in. The main actress in particular, India, really nails the dual roles, and although she was around 25 at time of filming she still sells the innocent, shy teenager.
For a low budget film, the effects are good and scenes are shot well, making the most of the winter setting. There is minimal cgi (if any?) which I think only helps sell the movie. The plot too is nothing fancy yet still keeps you engaged to figure out the motive behind everything.
My only gripe as others point out is that the movie ramps up the gore during the final 20 minutes or so as if to sell the horror element. By no means is this a bloody slasher or anything with limbs flying, the gore is simple compared to most films these days. It still tho seemed a little over kill. In particular it seems people in this movie have bones made out of papier-mâché, especially one scene in particular (I won't spoil which one but when you watch the movie you'll realize it when it happens).
Still for a low budget movie with minimal cast and effects, I was very much blown away and glad I watched this.
