MA NOTE

At times both surreal and frightening, this American indie sci-fi/horror film follows a couple trapped in a mysterious and dangerous time loop. The marriage of Jen (Dana Berger, Orange Is the New Black, Elementary) and Dan (Max Woertendyke, Succession) is on the rocks, with Jen seriously considering ending it for good. But when the pair go on a daytime jog in an attempt to hash things out, they soon find themselves running in circles around a pond as the exit trail vanishes and they repeatedly return to the same spot. Being stuck together in an endless loop would be bad enough, but when a silent hooded killer appears and starts tracking them down, the couple must figure out how to survive - together or apart. In his debut feature film, writer/director/cinematographer Dane Elcar presents a smart, twisted, and wickedly funny film about the true horrors of a relationship.

Was this a high school project?

Let's start by addressing the acting: horrible.

The dialogue: Forced, stilted, unrealistic, dumb and cookie cutter. Literally no one talks like that couple in the real world!

Their reaction to what they discover as the main problem they are faced with is so laid back they even crack jokes! Imagine a movie that is trying to be grounded, serious and scary having scenes where a guy being chased by a lion shouts to the lion "Woah... dude, not my a__se! You crazy!?". That's this film.

Or if aliens landed and the people in the movie reacts with casual dismissal before carrying on with hteir lives. That's this film.

I went in seeing it was low budget and giving it a pass because of that... but really, what was the director thinking?
