And on the third day things did not get better. The rain fell hard and cold, the white sun never broke through the low grey cloud, and they were lost. But it was the dead thing they found hanging from a tree that changed the trip beyond recognition. When four old University friends set off into the Scandinavian wilderness of the Arctic Circle, they aim to briefly escape the problems of their lives and reconnect with one another. But when Luke, the only man still single and living a precarious existence, finds he has little left in common with his well-heeled friends, tensions rise. With limited fitness and experience between them, a shortcut meant to ease their hike turns into a nightmare scenario that could cost them their lives. Lost, hungry, and surrounded by forest untouched for millennia, Luke figures things couldn't possibly get any worse. But then they stumble across an old habitation. Ancient artefacts decorate the walls and there are bones scattered upon the dry floors. The residue of old rites and pagan sacrifice for something that still exists in the forest. Something responsible for the bestial presence that follows their every step. And as the four friends stagger in the direction of salvation, they learn that death doesn't come easy among these ancient trees...

Has so much going for it with a climax that is so well-deserved. The development put into the four hikers between each monster sighting/attack felt perfect, and definitely set the mood for how much they were losing it in their claustrophobic and desperate surroundings. Then the antagonists (there's more than the cult this time) really come in later on in the book, and boy are they so much more fun than the drab "one of us" cultists presented in the movie. Everything is so disgustingly rendered from the main character's point of view and it's wonderful. If you liked the movie, or even if you didn't and you just love gritty supernatural horror, this is a good one.
