Good story, Not enough for a whole film

Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.

As somebody who had not heard any of this before, it became a curious phenomenon to sit and watch a film and slowly have the realities begin to click into place.

It is encouraging that the film ends so strongly.Otherwise, it wouldn't have been a particularly memorable film

The idea is not bad but too much free violence without sense in children context. Other problems: there is no educative purpose: children with porn magazines, scout heads that maltreat the child crew which should to be educated instead to receive insults and maltreatment, and the famous monster impersonates by an unknown child aggregate to the real monster that is a serial killer without any sense without a story, without an origin, that collects victims which none search for: no police investigation a free camp where to be killed. So where director and writer made the big error: the underage context. There is no excuse. The logical question is how a place so murdered, could be free to visit? That's absurd. "So if you want to make a movie only to make a movie don't waste time and don't spread questionable events concerning children." This is the story of Jason in the underage context but the result is mediocre because the message is very perverted for children.

This is very well written horror movie. It is a nice surprise, a good horror movie coming from Belgium. When you look at complete genre of horror movies, there are a few better movies, this movie will keep you interested, and ending will sure surprise you. Movie is set in the woods, group of kids goes camping there, and that's when the horror starts.Overall, I give it 8 compared to other horror movies, and 7 as movie compared to movies from all other genres.

For a start, I love movies set in the woods. It's probably my favourite horror movie location so I knew I was going to love this movie from the moment I first saw the trailer - and it didn't let me down when I watched the full movie.This is a brilliantly entertaining horror movie that is incredibly well made and really scary! The performances in the movie are all really good and the script was very compelling, leading to a fantastic, classic horror movie ending. The cinematography and direction are exceptional and I think Jonas Govaerts is a director to watch out for in the horror genre.I loved it!!!

To begin this review , I must say that taking into consideration that this was the director's feature film debut , he did extremely well. The direction was the best thing about this film. Now , the issue of this film comes from it's script.It lacked focus. The story is simple enough : 12 year Sam goes camping , he his bullied by the other scouts and even by one of the scoutmaster (And his evil dog!) . When Sam tries to warn everybody that he saw a character from an Urban legend , Kai (an animal/boy who eats people) he his laughed at so Sam ends up developing a rather strange and disturbing relationship with Kai that would turn this Camping trip into a living nightmare! So the story is fairly straightforward as you can see but the issue is the writers felt necessary to add small layers/subplot to it that makes it more complex then it should. I can go on to much details or I will spoil the films.Let just say that the director gave Sam a mysterious background that raises a lot of questions but none of them are answered by the end of the film. For me ,personally, Cub is very good up to it's last 10 minutes.Great atmosphere, great direction,great acting by it's lead actor but the above issue I have with the film gives us an ending that leaves things to the viewers imagination. Your personal enjoyment of that film will come to this at the end : If you like to have a clear ending to your film , I am afraid you will be disappointed by Cub but if you are the type of person that loves a film to end in an ambiguous sort of way I believe you would find much to like in that film. Outside of this , Cub do a lot of things right. So if you are up for a very dark little film that has a very strong and shocking yet confusing ending you could do much worse then this trip to the wood. I give Cub a 6 out of 10
