The second episode in the Dark Pictures anthology focuses on a small time village lost in the woods. There’s more than one obvious nod to Silent Hill 2 to be found here. The story mixes witchcraft and personal trauma but never really succeeds in delivering the gutpunch we want from such themes. The acting here is in my opinion worse than the previous episode. Some characters seem oblivious to the danger at hand while others in the same situation are overacting. All in all a pleasant 6hour ride played in co-op on the couch with my girlfriend.
