Kultur Shock!

This film is truly unique, very hard to describe it and compare it with other films because it is on its own category. From one side you have the impression to be looking at a painting depicting the society we live in, and then there is some elements of Sci-Fi and there is a twist. This masterpiece really blown my mind, for an excellent job!

It's an intriguing piece of a movie that will keep you enwrapped in it's unique story from beginning to end. If you like original and psychological mystery films, this one is for you.

If you're a fan of indie flicks and the Twilight Zone, this is the movie for you! Great one location mystery/thriller/scifi piece that will keep you guessing. Great writing and great production value from an indie gem. If you need big names and superfluous CGI, go watch a Marvel film, but if you love good story and quality indie films, Kultur Shock! is for you!

What an intense film! There were surprises and twists every ten minutes or so. It really kept you engaged and wondering what was going to happen next. It's the SAW of political satire. My favorite part was the game of chess. "Checkmate". LOL!

Great job by Eric Chapman and his team in creating a claustrophobic space that had many options and scenarios for danger. Extremely hard to pull that off and make it believable, so kudos to them! This was a wonderfully suspenseful and gritty film with an ending you won't see coming. Check it out!

A low budget film that takes place in a one room. That statement in itself is probably enough to turn many viewers away from any film, but what director Todd Osleger accomplishes as this mysterious story unfolds within a single small storage unit is quite impressive. When the film opens, you get a heavy Saw vibe, but that's a premature assessment. Kulture Shock! quickly takes a left turn down it's own bizarre path as these three captives seem to be locked in a makeshift classroom by their "teacher", a curiously German voice speaking through a creepy Uncle Sam doll. The unnamed characters have amnesia and are simply referred to by "Uncle" as the colors: Red, White, and Blue.

Something is clearly off and I found myself joyfully exploring the different possibilities in my head as the characters began trying to put the pieces back together through clues in the room. The dialogue between the fellow captives is at times so odd and dry, that I would burst out laughing as I rewound to make sense of them. The innocent, simple-minded Blue was my personal favorite. His sweet, deadpan delivery throughout the numerous non sequiturs he shared with the increasingly frustrated White were a lot of fun to watch.

This is an indie film through and through, which allows it the flexibility to lean harder into it's strange and minimalistic nature. It uses that to it's advantage with the cinematography and editing playing very well together to keep this small bottle movie engaging to the very end.
