    Excellent POV the viewer is immersed into the plot

    I seen it & loved it. It is a well done emotionally powerful thriller it was enthralling & eccentrically unique the POVs were perfect & I loved how color & music was used to enhance the emotions of the characters it made you feel what the they were feeling. Zak Bagans' Necrofusion tunes added a powerful element to the film & Zak played his part exceptional. Well done to all involved it was a uniquely striking film with intense vibes awesome accomplishment I will probably watch it several times more. Great work thanks for drawing me in on a fantastic film making ride. It was Thrilling & Well thought out with many plot twists & turns.

    Rough around the edges

    There was some evident talent emanating from this movie, and it wasn't much of a bore to sit through it, but I had difficulties with uneven acting, camera work and the story line. All in all, it was a partly successful experiment that is not easy to rate - I'd give it a score of 4 to 6, if that would be possible. Things that I expected not to work actually worked, especially the switch in the point of view and the emotional charge. Other things, not so much. At the end, 4/10 due to some unnecessary shilling.

    Excellent indie film

    I'm not going to post any spoilers so that everyone can read this review and this is the only film I've ever reviewed.

    I was one of only ~160 people able to get a ticket to attend the premier showing at The Little Theatre in Rochester NY on 1/13/16.

    I thought the movie was excellent! I loved how they changed the point of view and showed things that happened in other areas when something happened somewhere else. I've never seen a movie that has done this effect in such a way.

    I love psychological thrillers and would love to see this again! I wish I could have bought a DVD of it at the theatre but will have to purchase it digitally when it comes out online.

    Bravo!

    I would recommend this movie to anybody who likes spooky movies but a good story line to keep you involved in the show

    This movie was awesome!! Holy horses nuts it kept you on your toes! The movie seemed to go very fast. I would recommend this to others to watch! Loved watching the part where Zak Bagans played a part trying to get his Dodge Challenger back. Just yanked the man right out of the car. It was a movie that you couldn't take your eyes off of or you would have missed something and it wouldn't make much sense to you. I have watched it twice already!! It had the creepy factor and some funny parts as well. The only thing I had a problem with was the F-word being used a lot. It could have been tamed down a bit. Other wise Great Job Zak Bagans and Devin Lawrence Awesome Movie guys!!
