Nobody

We recently screened it at the H.P. Lovecraft Film Festival in Portland Oregon and I must say that I loved this film.

This is a thinking man's movie done in period with an excellent cast. I can't really go into depth about the film with out revealing the cause and effect mechanism. It reminds me a little of Memento since it is non-linear and does not have traditional time line. If you love weird tales, film noir, and time paradoxes, then run don't walk to your nearest film festival.

I am not sure were the market is for this one but I hope it fines a home. It is what Indy films are all about.

Ultimately Watchable with some Stunning Dark Cinematography, Color, and Expressionistic Elements. The Look of the Thing is the Thing here and if You are Compelled by Non-Linear Story Formats, and Dreamlike Presentations, this Movie is a Must.

But be Advised it is a Dense Screenplay with not a lot that is Easy Going Intellectually. It's Neo-Noir Niche is Derivative of David Lynch and the Coen Brothers. The Acting is Surprisingly Well Done and the Movie is a Fascinating Alternate-Universe with Perplexing Turns and Supernatural Elements.

For a Low-Budget Indie this is an Excellent Effort and the Film is Beautifully Framed with some Interesting Camera Angles and the Dialog is Spiffy, Although Most of the Movie is Mentally Challenging in a Good-Bad Way. But it is Interesting All the Way.

Let me start off by saying this movie makes absolutely NO sense whatsoever. I did find that annoying like other reviewers and wanted some sort of conclusion. However, the acting done by the entire cast and just for the mere sake of artwork this is a film I will respect and most likely watch over and over again, trying to make sense out of it. The best I can offer is that it is a nightmare - there are so many questions I have about this film that are left unanswered. But just the sheer brilliance of being able to confuse me and intrigue me as a viewer has earned the right to place it in an element of needing to watch it again. The best movies for me are ones that can evoke emotion from me, and while this movie once again made absolutely no sense - I thoroughly enjoyed being led through the bizarre and unreal journey. I loved Costas Mandylor as an actor before this film for his delivery and tough guy attitude that he conveys in most of his films. After seeing it I can also say that I now highly respect him as an actor. I am sure his role in the film was extremely challenging to play and he did it with conviction. This movie doesn't resolve anything and is highly confusing - I wouldn't want to watch it often. Once again however, I respect it for the art that it is and I am sure I will be watching it again. In terms of recommending the movie, I would only recommend it to people that I know would enjoy the kind of mental torture and art aspect of this film. I don't believe this film is for the general public and I would warn anyone before watching this film that they should be prepared to be thoroughly discombobulated.

I really tried, I did.. Great sound editing, acting was good, well shot movie....but repetitious and not in a good way. Made me want to find something interesting in my pocket to stare at. I fully support independent films, And I loved the David Lynch meets Millers Crossing style....but I could not help being bored and annoyed. The 3 other people who saw this with me were not as nice in their critique. One fell asleep. Another became noticeably angry and irritated. The last just kept fidgeting and sighing. Hearing the same lines of dialog 3-4 times just doesn't work in this film. I would see something else by the director though, shows promise.

The acting is actually very good. If you watched each scene by itself, you would probably like that individual scene. But in total, this movie falls very flat.

It tries to be something great, but doesn't know where to go with it. You start getting hooked on something then the movie says "that's enough of that, let's move on and try to confuse you." What's worse is the writer/director have no idea how to end it, so that's what they do...they just end it. Worth watching if you are a film student, or want to watch something very different.

I wouldn't recommend it to someone who wants to be entertained though, it does not do that on any level.
