The basic plot of this film is solid. It feels almost like a Twilight Zone or Outer Limits episode. Unfortunately, the decent plot is foiled by amateur cinematography, poor sound, uncomfortably awkward dialog, and weak editing. 1. Cinematography looks like it was shot on a camcorder. Color grading is mismatched throughout the film. Several outdoor scenes have blown out highlights. There's also an awkwardly shot scene with the main character and the detective where the 180 degree rule is broken multiple times and it's jarring to say the least. 2. Lots of scenes are shot with noisy room dialogue. 3. The dialogue is not like natural speech. Characters deliver their lines with awkward pauses waiting for the next character to deliver their lines. Not at all like people really speak. 4. This film needs to be cut down by 30 to 45 minutes. Far too much dead time on the screen with nobody speaking.

Bottom line - good premise with bad execution.

I enjoyed this tale. It wasn't over-drmatised or cheap and it had intrigue...

I'm worried in time I might not be able to connect the film's title to the movie, and that would be a shame, because I really enjoyed this!

This low budget feature has a lot of merit. It's a good story, and very atmospheric, and rather creepy at times. There are also some very disturbing scenes. Gabe Fazio is undoubtedly the film's highlight! His performance is incredible. This guy gave his all for this film, and it shows. I felt his happiness, pain and agony, and he was able to convey so much with a simple facial expression. I mean, give him an Oscar already!!

Gabe Fazio stars as Billy Curtis, who returns to a place he remembers from when he was just six years old. Listen carefully to his dialogue, as it plays a big part later in the film and - if you listen very carefully - will explain the ending. Also take note of small details during the course of the film.

There's quite a bit here that has no payoff. Billy constantly complains about his girlfriend, Lisa, spending too much time texting. She also often "has to phone her mother", but it never contributes to the story in any way. In fact, for most parts I didn't really care for Lisa. Billy - or Gabe for that matter - stole the show in every scene. (Ok, but Augie Duke was good as Lisa - lets give credit where credit is due). Towards the end I felt so sorry for Billy - especially after the twist ending. I wonder if everyone will realize what had happened and what this ending actually means? As I said, you have to pay very close attention to what he says during the first act. I loved this film!

The film was slow most the way but still intriguing. Then when you get to the end nothing is explained. So it feels like then why did I just invest in this? It will have you scratching your head...and for that I can't rate it any higher. It seemed to pull pieces from other films and just didn't know which direction it was gonna go. I have seen much better. I have seen much worse. I felt the male lead did fairly well for what he had. Everyone else I didn't really but it. I get to scratch this one off the watchlist. Though I probably won't be going back for a second helping. At least not anytime soon anyway. C-

Thought it had a great story line, was just spooky enough and kept me entertained the whole time. I enjoyed it.
