Mess with imposing figures in the mythical lore of the ancient Native American tribes at your great peril —that would seem to be the message ofa classy horror outing that’s perceptively cast and particularly attentive to the dead-end realities of a once-prosperous Oregon mining town.
One citizen still dedicated to improving this forlorn state of affairs is Julia Meadows , a middle school teacher who’s got a problem child on her hands by the name of Lucas . A clammed up loner, Lucas in his class work conjures up very disturbing images that suggest great distress, this at a time when Julia’s police chief brother Paul is confounded by the accumulation of dismembered bodies in a nearby forest.
Which is not good news, because some pretty heavy stuff is about to come down. In her tentative, worried manner, Julia makes a bit of headway with Lucas, and the film takes the time and attention to allow her to get a bit closer to this damaged kid. Based on his previous work, Cooper’s genuine interests and talents would seem to reside more in the realm of character work and the exploration of real-life dramatic territory rather than with colorfully resurrecting hypothetical evil spirits.
