When a medallion is removed from a collapsed fire tower in the woods that entombs the rotting corpse of Johnny, a vengeful spirit fueled by a horrific crime 70 years ago, his body is resurrected and determined to get it back. In a 2024 interview with Points of Reviews, Chris Nash spoke about why he did a substantial reshoot: “I would say we reshot 70% of the movie. That number fluctuates depending on my mood, but it’s somewhere around 70%. We did four weeks of shooting in a completely different location with a different lead actor who succumbed to a medical issue a week and a half into production. So we had to replace our lead actor, the ‘monster man.’ He’s in costume the entire movie, so I thought if we could find someone the same size, the same build, more or less, we could make the change.
But there are so many important things about performance. How they carry themselves, the way they walk, the weight of their steps; all of that mattered so much. We only realized how much it mattered when we did a rough cut of those first four weeks and saw the stark differences. They’re almost imperceptible until you realize that this is really the entire movie. You just have to watch someone walk and move and study their behavior. But that was just one reason why we felt it was necessary to go back to production and start all over again.
Another reason, perhaps more selfish, was that I always envisioned this being shot in Northern Ontario using that wilderness. That’s where I’m from, and where we were initially shooting didn’t have the same feel.
The trees didn’t look the same. Everything felt different and too foreign for what I wanted. Given the opportunity to reshoot, I was adamant to my production partners that I would love to go back to my hometown and call in every favor I could from every friend and family member. It’s not like we had the same budget to work with and do everything, and fortunately, a lot of our crew stayed with us. A lot of our actors stayed with us, and we were able to pull it all together.
There’s one scene from the original film. It’s a five or six second scene that was included, and it’s the most expensive scene in the film by far. Misidentified as a mistake, when the display cabinet is shown at the ranger station, a small poster uses the Canadian spelling of “amoung”. The film was filmed in Canada..

If I had to watch one more scene of the killer walking through the woods, a damn field, or some other picturesque landscape, I would have sworn I was watching a third-person nature documentary. I don’t mind a movie being slow to build tension or a big payoff (think Jaws, slow but a HUGE payoff), but this one was slow and tedious to the point where I thought the director was making fun of the viewer. It really did go on for so long or so repeatedly at times that I personally thought I was watching a satirical horror film. Think of that scene in Mount Python and the Holy Grail where they repeat the same shot of a knight running towards you over and over again. There were some original kills (credit where it’s due, the death by sight was fantastic), but seeing other reviews saying it’s horrifying and the scariest, bloodiest movie they’ve ever seen makes me question how much horror the critics actually saw. It’s more of an atmospheric Friday the 13th/Jason movie and nothing more. On my way out of the theater, I passed a man who turned to his wife and said, “Well, we’ll never get that time back,” and he’s absolutely right.
