I'm sure this was a lot of fun to make and the people involved probably got a kick out of watching the finished production, but the rest of us could do with a warning up front: this is not even a 'B' movie.

This really is the kind of quality I associate with a decent high school production. Not a GOOD high school production, mind you .. just decent. It was extremely poorly acted with very amateur equipment and little attention to quality.

I watched it expecting to be entertained by a campy plot and a little action .. some blood, gore, and nudity hopefully .. but even those were in short supply.

Unless you're obsessed with the goth / metal-head subculture (or whatever), don't even watch this to satisfy your curiosity.

An interesting story, though a little predictable.

The suspense was upheld throughout the movie, and there was real tension in many scenes, accomplished through a nerve-wracking score and drawn-out scenes that got my teeth grinding.

I immensely enjoyed the cinematography and effects .. it created a dark and brooding atmosphere that had me mourning the conclusion before it came about.

The acting was fairly good, no real complaints. I especially enjoyed the hotel concierge character, who added an old-school feel to the film.

Overall, I definitely enjoyed the movie, although I found the story to be almost too simple for its length; it felt like a short story stretched to fit a feature length film.

This movie was very well put together. The characters came across with sincerity, delivered very well by (what appear to be) new actors.

I couldn't help but imagine this sort of story coming together, whether by terrible coincidence or by a nasty twist of fate - and it was truly a sad thing to envision.

I found the pace to be as expected for this sort of film, with plenty of time to understand the characters, and a healthy dose of dialog-free scenes full of introspection and character growth. I also really enjoyed the fact that the director respected his audience and didn't spell things out for his viewers.

Now, this is not a film I would recommend to most of my guy friends, as there is very little action and it is, after all, a love story - but I know the ladies would enjoy it thoroughly.
