Horror Vault's take

Janey is sent to a remote woodland retreat under the guise of rehabilitation, but the strict, controlling men who oversee it are hiding far more than rigid rules. Something dangerous prowls the forest beyond the camp's boundaries, and the women confined there may have more to fear than they ever imagined. Director Stephanie Joline weaves a tense atmosphere of paranoia and patriarchal menace with lurking creature-feature dread. This Canadian indie keeps the tension coiled tight as Janey begins to understand the true nature of her situation.
