Sam is a writer and seems to be a bit of loser. A girl called Mara offers to buy him a drink at a local bar and it seems unlikely it is just a random act of kindness ...
I saw the World Premier of this at London FrightFest. It's not a horror film but the movie has some dark moments.
The first half I found to be a bit tedious to sit through, as it lingers a bit too much in one particular scene but the script is engaging and the acting is solid, so you kind of get the feeling it's probably going to pick up later - and fortunately it did.
The second half of the movie is a huge step up from the initial set up and was worth the investment, as it led to a surprisingly satisfying conclusion, which is usually where so many movies fail these days. The ending was, for me, where the movie really pays off.
It's not my preferred genre (I was eager to see Mutilator 2 at the festival, for a bit of context) but it was better and more competent than a few other much bigger budget movies that I saw over the weekend.
If crime drama / thriller is your thing, I'd say you'd probably enjoy it more than I did but strong performances from the whole cast and a script with a lot of attention to detail made up for an obvious lack of budget, so overall feels like a thumbs up.
