Just think about the setup. This innocent vacation in the countryside is what our characters are aiming for. But you already know those sweet dreams of open meadows and friendly neighbors are going to morph into a horrifying nightmare real quick. That's the magic of a psychological thriller - taking something sweet, charming, and innocent, then twisting it with terrifying results.

We are looking at terrifying real-life situations played out with as much precision as possible to put viewers on the edge of their seats.

But, you have to keep in mind this is not just another standard horror remake, it’s actually got a little more sophistication in the storytelling.
