    Very Close

    So let's get one thing straight. The best thing about this movie is the overall story. There are some amazing effects done here too. Unfortunately, between some of the horrible dialogue, some poor casting (maybe), and some changes that should have been made to the script to lead to a more believable ending - this movie did pretty good for a rookie director. Looking for ward to see his next movie.

    $500,000 BUDGET!

    Admittedly the build up during the 1st hour was hard to sit through. Yes the other reviews are right.

    We need to appreciate the incredible effort it is to create such a wonderfully original? Idea.

    Great job guys- maybe just may be you will touch the right people in just the right way too which they begin to understand their OWN potential.

    See it for yourself, make up your own mind.

    Almost good but it's just not

    Almost all of the acting is terrible and 90% of the dialog is horrible. You never develop any interest in what happens to any of the characters. The main character just does not seem right for the role. The reason I am able to give this movie four stars is because of the special effects. This movie is low budget, but some of the special effects are pretty amazing for it's budget. The end of the movie is kinda strange, but I can say it was almost good for about 5-10 minutes. The rest of the movie is pretty bad. Though, it is hard to get passed the first like hour and 15 minutes to get to the interesting part because most of the movie is just boring and one of the main character's daughters is irritating. Not the worst movie I have ever seen, but FAR from the best. Easily forgotten aside from that 5-10 minutes.

    This work needs appreciation

    It's not like I would watch it again but... 500k and this film as a result needs respect. If I would have made this film I would be damn proud of it. It's cringy and awesome, it's ugly and beautiful. Could it been better? Yes! Should that guy who made that film make more? Yes! Is he able to do it with a 1 Star Rating? No! So here you go with 8!

    This is different, unique, and for the very small budget is pretty 'damn' (pun) good!

    I liked the story and most of the effects are cool, in my opinion. All in all not half bad. I'm bias because I love different ideas and I love sci-fi.... Having said that, I can see why some people would call this crap and I do agree with the point made about it could've been so much more....

    Still I do think it's good and I really liked what happens in the story, so I think both these downsides just comes under the 'small budget' umbrella....

    Good work!!! I hope there is a second one that is gifted a 'higher power budget' to expand and exploit the character(s) more and move the story even further forward. :D

      During the break-in gloves briefly appear on Joe's hands but are missing from most scenes, which would also mean he's leaving his fingerprints all over the place as he moves around the house.
