The Radar read

A quieter title still finding its audience, though the rating rests on a thin sample, so treat it as provisional.

Synopsis

As the distraught student Tobias is incapable of making a statement, the investigator in charge confronts him with the gruesome truth: the video recordings that reveal what happened to Tobias and his four friends when they ignored all warnings and got lost in a sealed-off forest area. But even when Tobias believes he has seen it all, the real horror is far from over. Nothing is as it seems and everyone is a suspect....

Radar blends quality, momentum and freshness into one “what to watch now” number — so a great older film can sit lower than a rising new release. The Quality signal above is the time-neutral rating, which is why an acclaimed classic keeps a high quality score even when its Radar number is lower. Radar outputs are editorial algorithmic recommendations, not objective facts, and may change as signals update. A Radar score is not the same as a TMDB, IMDb or critic rating.
