    Lovecraftian!

    If you're a Lovecraft fan, this terrific independent film will be a thrill. It's jam-packed with references towards the Lovecraftian mythology, eldrich horrors of the mind, and the story line is also full of twists, turns and surprises!

    When this small group of friends decide to kidnap a politician, it doesn't turn out to be an ordinary kidnapping and the politician himself is anything but ordinary! This is gets surreal.

    It's very well done! I really liked it! For me, the added bonus is that I found out about a religious group that's protesting the film, that makes it even more fun in my mind.

    A plot that made no sense and went nowhere

    This was without a doubt absolute garbage, the characters, plot, none of it had any cohesion to what was happening. Every scene comes across poorly shot, the actors while I'm sure they did their best with what they were given deliver less than believable performances regarding anything they're doing. The effects are badly done and are a stark contrast with the scenes portrayed. Don't waist your time with this disaster piece, truly watching paint dry would provide a more entertaining evening. The plot has no idea what it's doing scene from scene, they're a few sub plots going on that never get revisited or brought up again so what was the point of introducing them to the story anyways. In closing don't watch this terrible movie. Go buy a churro or do anything else more valuable with your time.

    An Excellent Independent Film!!!

    I love horror movies and I've seen a lot of independent horror movies. Though none of them have impressed me such as this particular one has. At approximately three minutes in I was hooked. The whole thing is quite the ride for a Lovecraft fan and it just gets weirder and weirder as it goes! You can tell they put their hearts and souls into it and that's one of the best things about it. The passion for Lovecraftian horror is extremely apparent! Keep up the excellent work, I'm looking forward to anything and everything this studio puts out! This will be a beautiful start to my long relationship with anything Frog Labs puts out going forward. Thank you Frog Labs for making this masterpiece of a film you've gained a fan for life!

    P. S. - Ph'nglui mglw'nafh Cthulhu R'lyeh wgah'nagl fhtagn!

    Different perspective

    As a deeply spiritual person and believer in GOD, I found the explanation about life and concept of "your GOD" interesting. Even though I have a different belief, I can appreciate seeing a different perspective of the character Adam's explanation while sitting at the table near the end. Having an open mind naturally helped me see a different concept. The filmmaker is a deep thinker and leaves the door open to interpretation. The mind is a powerful tool. He shows/uses that with all the film's characters. The character Evie was able to question Adam's explanation while still keeping her moral compass. Her need to attempt to understand Adam made her likable to me. I loved the way the film touched on modern events in America like BLM, Antifa, the police/African American tensions. It was eye opening without being preachy. Held my interest the whole film. The cinematography was good for a local film on a budget. I liked seeing places I recognized. The writing was well done, truthful and easy to understand. Enjoyed this film! Only wish it were longer. My only issue! 👏🏾

    Low Budget Gem!

    While others see "garbage", I absolutely see a gem/ diamond in the rough! The plot is & was pure gold! Who doesn't want to rage against the machine/politician?!

    Though the quality is less than desirable, the film has independent charm & gripping characters.

    The overall story, makes up for any short comings. As a first feature film, I found it very enjoyable. I found humor & deep thought provoking theory.

    Over looking, the cheesy special effects, because I'm a Gen Xer.. lol I was definitely having flashbacks lol.

    I have seen the film more than once and would definitely recommend to other viewers.

    I look forward to seeing more from this start up!
