Alec and Sasa are a couple in love on a trip to the heart of Bosnia and Herzegovina. Sasa is uneasy about being back in a place she thought she'd permanently escaped. Her instincts tell her that they are surrounded by something evil. As they go deeper into the forest and their car breaks down, Sasa clings deeply to her hamajlija - a Muslim amulet - to keep her safe. However it's not long before the couple run into two hunters, Vuk and Milos. It's this encounter that will be the reckoning for all four people, but the results will be nothing like anyone could have imagined. (Fantastic Fest)

Die Dunkelheit ist wirkungsvoll, aber die Darstellung der Auseinandersetzung mit dem Trauma und den Folgen des Kriegs in Bosnien ist nicht gut gelungen. Im ersten Drittel kann man die WTF-Anknüpfung der Szenen irgendwie rechtfertigen, aber der Eindruck einer schlechten Regie bleibt. Ein überflüssiger und scheinbar beunruhigender Epilog, der im Kontext zu der Handlung keinen Sinn ergibt, bestätigt das nur. [Sitges FF]

I found the Spanish production The Maus an attempt to make a slightly different sort of horror movie with a relatively classic theme. It is an attempt that tries for originality. However, it shows the problems with original concepts in that it sometimes ends up a bad movie, and this is clearly the case with The Maus, which is not suspenseful, moving, or frightening.
