It looks like a cheap 300 knock off by that cover doesn't it? Let me assure you that is anything but.

Tragically promoted as an action movie means that this superb movie will struggle to find the audience that it deserves, until word of mouth changes that and that starts here.

Channeling Jodorowsky (El Topo, Santa Sangre) via Herzog (especially Aguire, Wrath Of God) this is a movie that stays with you long after the credits roll.

A film with sparse dialogue, infrequent action or characterisation usually puts it into the arthouse category which ultimately means that you will love it or hate it but this is something else.

Some of the best cinematography I have seen on film for a long while, let alone a low budget film; subject matter that takes in Religion, Ego, mysticism, supernaturalism, family,violence, nature and performances of unbridled naturalism make this a film I immediately want to see again and again.

Gob smacking although definitely not to all tastes.
