The film does a notable job of first establishing a premise, and then taking the viewer deep into the heart of the story, giving and withholding information in a balanced manner.
A writer is on his way to meet a strange man, away from the civilization of populous cities and cellphone networks. His interviewee is especially interesting for he was involved in a legal case decades ago for which he also served a jail sentence. However, once out of imprisonment, he chose to recede from society into a quiet, quaint corner of the world.
As soon as the protagonist meets his host, eerie events begin to develop one after another. Once again, the narrative exhibits skill and ease in conjuring thrill, and shocking the viewer, involving them in the fate of the protagonist beyond the point of return. The entirety of the story unfolds within twenty four hours, and yet, the butterfly effect triggered by this short duration will have far-reaching consequences on the fate of the characters involved.
