Writer-director Chris Nash places us largely behind the killer's perspective.
Ry Barrett - Johnny
Andrea Pavlovic - Kris
Cameron Love - Colt

Liam Leone - Troy
Charlotte Creaghan - Aurora
Lea Rose Sebastianis - Brodie
Sam Roulston - Ehren
Alexander Oliver - Evan
Timothy Paul McCarthy - Chuck
Lauren Taylor - The Woman
Summary
Moments after Troy and Ehren take a locket from the remains of a collapsed fire tower, the enraged corpse of Johnny rises from the ground and sets about retrieving trinket that belonged to his mother.
One night around a campfire (obviously), Ehren recalls how 70 years ago, Johnny, a 'mentally hindered' child, was tricked into climbing the tower for a 'bag of toys', only to find somebody waiting at the top to scare him, causing him to fall and break his neck.
Along with his father's death, legend attributes murders to Johnny's vengeful spirit.
The Ontario wilderness is about to bathed in blood.
The White Pine Slaughter
Ignoring the obvious similarities to Friday the 13th, Canadian slasher is basically the same principle as Manhunt, (if Rockstar North's controversial classic was set in the Ontario wilderness).
Honestly, the only thing missing from Johnny's victims was a targeting reticle.
'Executions' hit the mark and the standout moment is Aurora being on the wrong end of drag hook, leading to her pretty head being pulled through torso.
While gore aficionados will be satisfied, the most menacing aspect is the tranquility of nature.
