This movie was so bad I had to create an account just to warn people away from it. It makes 90 minutes seem like an eternity. It took me three tries to get through this slog. It seems simple. A young hiker, Joe, stumbles upon a cabin in the middle of nowhere and meets the Old Man. It's obvious right away the Old Man is crazy and Joe is hiding something. The dialogue is rambling and vague. No one would talk like they do. The actor who plays Joe delivers his lines in the same monotone confused drawl that reminds me of the "What" guy from Pulp Fiction. Stephen Lang is wasted as an actor here. It becomes obvious pretty quickly that Joe is just a figment of the Old Man's crazy mind. But it takes almost the entire movie to come out and say it. The last 15 minutes turn into an indie psychedelic movie complete with color changes, hallucinations, and mysterious music. Long story short Joe/Old Man came home, found his wife screwing a Bible salesman amd killed them both. Old Man is stuck in a repeated dream/hell where he meets Joe and unaware that Joe is a younger version of him. There's also a character called Rascal that is played by the Joe actor, but they tried to cover his face a bunch to draw out that reveal. They never really explain who the Rascal personality is. Overall it was a huge dumb waste of time.
