If you're thinking "Repulsion by John Ford," you're more on the right track than you could possibly know.

Los Angeles Times
Ultimately more allegorical than literal. It's not about history, or pioneer life, or bloodthirsty ghosts. It's about a loneliness so overwhelming that it becomes terrifying.

The New York Times
This pioneer chiller shines a gender-specific spotlight on the ways isolation and hardship can ravage a woman's mind.

Hollywood Reporter
It's refreshing to see such an original stab at this type of indie genre-bender, especially one told from a strictly female point of view.

Variety
Doesn't seek to make infallible heroes of its women, but to understand and empathize with even their most unforgivable acts. And it's a hugely promising debut in terms of Tammi's steady, assured directorial craft.
