Events quickly darken and soon Dis reveals her deeply damaged psyche and her propensity for burning her victims in a home-made kind of kiln. Her hidden secret is then eventually uncovered.
While the landscapes are beautifully empty the film fails to deliver. Not so much an original, memorable thriller as a forgettable slasher-basher horror.
