Synopsis:
A group of five mountaineers are hiking and climbing in the Scottish Highlands when they discover a young Serbian girl buried in a small chamber in the wilderness. They become caught up in a terrifying game of cat and mouse with the kidnappers as they try to get the girl to safety.

Review:
A incredibly well written & filmed survival movie set against the backdrop of the Scottish Highlands. The acting leaves a little to be desired but it could have been much, much worse. The battle for survival not only against the environment but also the hunters chasing them leads to several twists & turns. The climax & finale aren't quite what they should have been, at least for someone who was getting really invested in the story & characters.
