I've seen this film and found it interesting...I certainly didn't have the feeling of wanting to walk out on it. I was drawn to it because the creators gave it good hype with energy and delivered. Having George Takei was a bonus (I do not look to see who is in an independent prior to viewing).
Storywise, it was well done...but perhaps not my favorite genre.
Visually (lighting, color used to give matching texture), it was very good.
My only complaint was the music was overbearing--too loud and metal sounding. It may have been the equipment being used. But if it was intended to be that way (I meant to ask him (the director))...Personally, I'd like to keep my hearing abilities as long as possible.
I would hope to see more from this artist.

I just saw this at the Phoenix Film Festival yesterday. It didn't win any awards and really isn't a traditional "award-winning" contender festival film. However, it ended up being by far my favorite film of the festival. The research and facts presented is among the most fascinating I've seen in literally any film I've ever seen. The story was incredibly suspensful and gripping. Very well-written script. Watching this film makes me angry b/c mainstream Hollywood is forcing dumbed down, moronic "horror" and "suspense" films down the masses' throats like it means anything while a truly scary and thought-provoking film such as this can't even get distribution. I would reccommend this over just about any horror or conspiracy film I've seen in the last ten years. This was also the first film that consciously delved into the "goth" underground scene that didn't have me in stitches laughing at the the film within a half an hour. If you have a chance to see this at any festival, I strongly urge you to see it, esp if you have literally any interest in the occult, conspiracy theories, biblical studies, or just a good suspensful film. This film has good acting, showy star cameos by Betty Buckley and George Takai that aren't irritating one bit, super editing, effective humor, a fascinating ending and a great script and direction to boot. Nothing disappointed me about. A complete refreshment from the feel-good mainstream hogwash that you usually see at festivals, and the terrible wannabe scary films that are sprinkled throughout. This is a film worthy of attention that probably won't get much. Would love to see a DVD release myself, at the very least. 9/10.
I saw this at the Phoenix Film Festival and was my personal favorite (of the ones I saw). The two leads (Lauren Fox and Thomas Jay Ryan) were memorably good in this to the point where I would start to look for other movies from those two actors.
The story revolves around Eris and her study of conspiracies from silly ones to ones that are more believable.
It took me a few minutes to get into the movie because the print wasn't the best, and the director said that the movie was in the process of being put on film, so i would like to see it again. But the story was quite mesmerizing in how Eris (Lauren Fox) studies these conspiracies, gets involved with these conspiracy theorists from this bookshop, and spirals downward almost into insanity as she starts to see these conspiracies and becomes paranoid in the process.

I just saw this at the Idaho International Film Festival. I loved the movie. I had no idea what to expect going into it, but came out very pleased. It did not take long to capture my interest in the characters and the story. The ideas in the film are thought provoking. The well placed humor adds a great deal to the film as well. A job well done!
It's kind of hard to say what I really mean about this movie, maybe after watching this movie again I can tell you what's really going on!!!
