In the vein of Following and Evil Dead, except even more micro-budget, Wyvern Hill belies it's lack of budget to offer a feature directing debut that makes the prospect of Zaurin's next film (hopefully and presumably with more money) quite enticing.
More cerebral than most cheap horrors, this is what early De Palma would have produced if tasked with a rural psychological horror about dementia. You shouldn't go in expecting the slickest jump scare fest or the sickest exploitation flick but something more considered, operatic and abstract. So much so that's it clear many reviewers here have either misunderstood or not paid full attention. The worst that could be said is that this is not for you; it is NOT a badly made movie. I would defy most people to be able to be this assured and effective directing this kind of micro budget horror. It's better than a lot of horror made for 100 times the budget. It's only cinematic crime is respecting its audience.
Be open minded, engage your brain and get ready to be chilled and disturbed.
