Lost Joy

Atmospheric and creepy, this story keeps you guessing until the final frame. The strong performances by the cast draw you in as you try as you try to understand the character's relationships. Beautiful camera work, in a serene setting belie the tension underneath as the story builds. Cool effects drive the narrative as you try and piece together who can be trusted and who can't. When all the pieces come together in the final scene, the story really clicks. Great quality for an independent film, and I am looking forward to seeing more work from Winter, Vincent and Jordan!

Keep an eye on the dog!

Overall, this film was well done, considering it was made on a presumably low budget. This movie has some great camera work, especially for a non-Hollywood film - the cinematography is decent and the camera quality is exceptional.

As for the writing, the overall storyline keeps you guessing and interested until the end. There are some great unexpected twists throughout, which are usually the hallmark of a good psychological thriller in my book.

Decent performances from some of the actors, who are likely to only improve at their craft as they gain more experience.

Always good to see a small production make something worth watching to the end.
