To be honest, this was a weird movie. It didn't have all the "hollywood" added to it. I was very interested within the first 15 minutes which is highly unusual for me. It tells the story of a man that restores homes from Virginia. At the start you will think his is having a panic attack but you will see that he suffers from skitzophrenia. The movie plays into the role perfect & if you have ever met someone like that (I am), it's truly wonderful how they had the "mind set" perfect. It also has a lot about history in Virginia & one of the oldest mysteries surrounding the United States. I don't want to spoil it for you, but if you want to venture off into a movie with lots of twists & a decent story line, this is for you. You will have to pay attention or maybe watch it twice. The first time is like, WOW, then the second you can see more clearly what is going on. Im surprised this movie doesn't have many ratings or views. Probably because its not "Hollywoodified".

Very suspenseful in places, but there are too many loose ends that are never tied up. The ending was awful and rushed, at that. Could have been better scripted; didn't seem like the editor could have saved this one. Several additional scenes needed to be added to provide plot and character continuity. Like, "Who was the boy and what was his significance to anything? What was his relationship to Gene? Who was Gene?" On and on and on.......too bad, good subject; bad screenplay. Although I know the background of this particular film (my daughter played in it), it is obvious that there was not enough money to go back and complete enough pick ups to make this thing flow the way it should have. 3 of 10 only because there were some decent performances by the cast and crew.A lot of soft focus when it shouldn't have been used. Don't know if this was intentional or not, but it was distracting.

After watching this film, I am left completely confused. Normally I do well with confusing films, such as Mulholland Drive, but this was just completely senseless. I felt as though each part was written by someone else without looking at the previous parts, and then they just went ahead and made it without looking at the script at all. I had a lot of hope, coming into this but after about a half hour I was just sitting here thinking to myself "seriously?" There were so many loose ends once this film was over, and the "twists" weren't really twists at all. They were entirely different stories. As soon as a 'twist' happened, i felt like i was watching a completely different movie, none of which had any endings. This movie left me with more questions than it answered. The idea was there, but man, what happened? The only reason I gave this 4 out of 10 is because I saw the potential in the film. Perhaps they should go back and pick one of the many directions they take, and make a better film so we can just pretend this never happened.

a very well done and interesting journey with twists and turns. Great cast and an unbelievable ending. It makes you think and follow the story. Not a movie for short attention spans. Watch again to catch the clues. I would give it a 9 out of ten but i don't give 9 ,s . The locations are also really interesting. Give it a look. Skeet has a couple of great moments as well as Tom Bower as the sheriff. In the same vein as the sixth sense. Looks terrific great camera work the only thing maybe it is slow in parts but that is to weave the story deeper is my guess. Hope this helps it is nice to see something that attempts to be different and has a nice historical hook to it. Again definitely worth a look.

i have just finished watching this film. To say the least i was/am very confused about the whole project. I just cannot believe that Nobody read the script from beginning to end and said it didn't make sense.

There were many different angles and leads that the writers could have taken. I saw so many different cut & pastes from movies, and ideas that were plastered together to make this................odd........

The only reason i gave it a 2/10 is due to the fact that some big names were listed in the movie.

what the hell? I would only watch this if a friend rented it from the $1 redbox and i was drunk.

Sorry crew/actors... you tried but...
