A pair of travellers, stranded in the wilds of Scotland, wind up at a secluded inn populated by a strange group of residents.
Ewan has a great role as the quiet, somewhat sinister Magnus. Distrustful of the therapy patients and their "mumbo-jumbo", Magnus is a loner who lives in a rickety trailer, mourning his dead daughter. It's a nice melding of villainy and sympathy, and Ewan is thoroughly believable.
Quotations
Charlie: So where do you fit into all this?
Magnus: I'm a stalker.
Charlie: [laughs] I might have guessed.
Magnus: I look after the deer on the estate.
Charlie: Oh, sorry, I thought you were, uh...
Ruaridh: Strictly speaking, Magnus isn't part of our community, but we would like him to be.
Magnus: Your little freak show?
Ruaridh: [laughs] Enjoy your whiskey, Magnus.

Reviews
- The Independent – Watch out: there's a tale of terror in them there hills | May 4, 2003
"... the only refuge is a retreat run by a sinister therapist (played by Ewan Stewart, in a performance pitched somewhere between Ronnie Laing and Ronnie Kray)." (Notice they got Ewan's role wrong.)
