Description

A squad of soldiers takes a ride out to the middle of nowhere, thinking they’re being punished for posting pictures of the Lieutenant’s old lady. But in an empty stretch of desert lives a cave where they stumble across a man whose presence they can’t explain...who speaks in riddles and seems to know them. Before they can figure out what he wants, they're already marked men.

Review by: Mario Milosevic on Feb. 16, 2011 :
Mix a gritty desert war setting with a dash of Lewis Carroll and you get this harrowing take on soldiers confronting a danger literally beyond their imaginations. The suspense is real, the details grisly, and the story simultaneously fascinating and repulsive. Think of the worst thing that could happen to someone. This is worse than that.
