RAVING REVIEW: <\/strong>Venture into the unknown with THE LONG DARK TRAIL, a horror-tinged journey that takes you deep into the heart of the wilderness. A tale of two siblings as they embark on a treacherous journey through the forests of Northwestern Pennsylvania in search of a loved one who has disappeared and is believed to be with a questionable group.<\/p>\n

\n

This independent feature film offers a potent blend of suspense and terror. The film's musical score is brilliant, and the breathtaking aerial shots of the forest are a true standout of the film; they give you a sense of scale when watching.<\/p>\n

For enthusiasts of independent horror, THE LONG DARK TRAIL can be a challenge but has some fundamental redeeming qualities. The Blu-Ray edition includes additional features, including a slide show, trailers, and more.<\/p>\n

At its core, THE LONG DARK TRAIL is more a drama than a horror. The pace is slow-burning until the boys eventually have a breakthrough, and then it’s off to the races. However, they soon realize that their story has just begun.<\/p>\n

Despite some intriguing ideas, the film couldn’t connect the pieces to get off the ground. The film relies heavily on the atmosphere and establishes a specific feeling while watching. Remote wilderness locations are another strength of the film, taking what THE BLAIR WITCH PROJECT did and turning it up a notch.<\/p>\n

Forests have long been a popular setting for dark tales, and THE LONG DARK TRAIL is no exception. While this slow pace is typical in art-house horror films, it doesn’t quite work here as the pacing seems to be off. As a whole, the film lacks the originality that could allow it to overcome other obstacles.<\/p>\n
