I caught this one at the Vancouver International Film Festival and has one of my local fav's Tygh Runyan (Antitrust, Disturbing Behavior and 15 Minutes). But most of all my favourite Vancouver actress, Carly Pope (Orange County, Disturbing Behavior and TV's Popular).
The movie was well written by Vancouver UBC student Ori Kowarsky, and avoided all Hollywood elements of a tragic love story between two twenty-something's that are restricted from seeing each other due to religious beliefs. More so than the writing being excellent for a small Canadian movie I was blown away by the filming in this show afterwards when the cast and crew announced it was filmed on HDTV (a DV format). This was stellar! Never once did I think this was something put together on DV and worked on later to look like film. So inspiring now that I'm deciding to start filming a few shorts as soon as next month. The color that was used in the movie had some very filtered film effects but still had a film grain texture to it that made a very warm looking picture. Another bonus was watching the opening credits and discovering that Tygh also did a portion of the score in the movie. It had a real ambient mellow tone that was very subtle and enjoyable.
Well let me get back to the cast and crew. Like I mentioned earlier the cast and crew were present after for a Q & A. I jokingly entertained the idea that Carly being an American teen idol would be present for the pictures premiere but was shocked to find out she showed up. She was just as stunning in person as on film. I think if she continues to do more independent pictures and story driven work she will be capable of sticking around a while longer as well unlike the rest of the nameless Popular cast. It was really great to see the entire cast except for Tygh (who was filming elsewhere), be able to show and support the picture for Ori.
I can't see this being a big theatre release but if you get the chance to see it on DVD/VHS or a movie channel sometime over the next year, please check it out and support Canadian work as good as this.

Just seen this film last night at the Vancouver Film Festival and I was quite surprised. I was expecting something a bit intriguing and mildly surprising. I was completely surprised when I found this to be the best horror I've seen in quite some time. I think this film gave me everything I wished Blair Witch had been able to deliver. Great suspense bulit up by positioned cameras and incredibly eerie score of sounds and music.
I think the reviews for this one will be rather mixed unfortunately since some people just don't like getting scared this much at movies. Some folks who leaving the theater after it finished were complaining but I also happened to notice they jumped a foot from there seats in a couple scenes.
Truly a quality frightening film that plays on all our fears of being watched in a remote house with strangers. And it's just so nice seeing directors doing that they can to keep the genre alive without butchering us into seeing more Friday the 13th movies.
