    You have to watch 'til the END

    At first, I was confused as to how certain things were happening, but if you watch 'til the end it all makes sense. I liked how it felt like a mix of SAW and a real-life escape room with supernatural elements. I don't know what some of these reviews expected from an indie movie with a small budget or if they get paid per 1 star review, because the production value for what it was still provided quality. Good sound and an interesting storyline that steps away from the expected. This is not a MARVEL movie that is trying to keep you entertained with banter, theatrics, and explosions. This is a slow dissent into madness of someone suffering from more than what is initially seen on the surface.

    Boring Nonsense!!

    I don't even know what I just watched. Throughout the entire film the acting was bad, the story was choppy, there was no action at ALL, just her in the truck trying to break free. That's it. Don't waste your time with this one people. I was bored to tears. I wish I would have waited until more reviews came out about this film, so by writing this I'm trying to save you all 87 minutes of your time and I recommend watching literally anything else. In the trailer it says it got all these independent film awards. Don't be fooled. Movies this bad have to put that in to get people to watch it. The ending also sucked, trying to show a twist when it just angers the audience. Rule #1 of filmmaking is don't piss off the audience you're trying to impress!

    GREAT FILM!!

    I enjoy indie films immensely, so watching this I didn't know what to expect. You really have to pay attention to every scene because it all adds up to something really unique at the end.

    Very few films can pull off the single location concept, and this was definitely a good use of it. Monique did a fantastic job bringing Aamal to life and making us sympathize. You can tell she put a lot into the performance, and it shows.

    I enjoyed the music and build up. The disjointed quality of it seemed out of place at first but again it all adds up to why, and I didn't see it coming. I read that they filmed in the high desert during hundred degree days, so good on them all for committing to this in full. Definitely worth your time, so check it out!

    Worst movie I have seen in years

    The title looked interesting so I began watching it and was soon drawn into it. I had to keep watching, although it struggled along and it was like watching Latex paint dry. Very Poor acting and ridiculous scenarios that just did not make sense.. Obviously a low budget movie with a minimal amount of characters. I wanted to just quit watching it, but I had too much time invested so I stuck it out to the end which turned out to be confusing. An hour and a half of my life that I will never get back. I should have came To Internet movie database and read the reviews and just found something else to watch. I'm sure some of you might find this entertaining but to me it was a waste of my time.

    Don't listen to the 1/10 reviews, this is GREAT!

    The first thing that you notice bouts a movies a movie like this one is the great place that they do the movie, that is where they decided to film the movie location. It is a great place that is good to look at and thinks bout after the movie is over. Next you look at the actress girl and think if you want to know her but more important if you was right there in the movie and one of the people that was in the story if you wnat to help her. I would definitely want to help her then maybe marry her if she is not a lesbian or vegan. She is that HOT! I like movies that also have a gun in them. This movie had a gun. The story is simple but it is a one that you cannot think of you self unless you can write movies really good. I think that I might be able to write good movies like this one if any body out there would give me alot of money and a cool car that runs. Watch this! My mother and my ex baby mother watched this together and they liked it to. That is my proof that it is great because they are both hard to please. My mother always was on me when I was young and my ex was not ever nice to me because she thought that I was a loser when I lost my job. Her new husband does not like me and I would not let him watch this with us so I do not know if he would like it.
