“Death Among The Pines” (* out of four) was a vapid horror thriller about a woman (Nicolette McKeown) who is paid a visit by a stranger (Nathan Shepka who also co-wrote and directed) in the middle of the night but this seemingly random encounter is more than meets the eye and she realizes her life might be in danger. Interesting story might have made an engrossing 2-character play or chamber piece but is deadly and tedious as a feature-length film. Watch “A Place Beyond The Pines” again instead.
