Would have given a really good review right up to the ending - the acting and directing are fine, the cinematography is. . . passable. Not great, but it doesn't drag things down too much, kudos to the filmmakers for giving out bits of information as the film progresses, saving us form the sot of infodump that has dragged down better films than this, but all the teased tidbits lead to- well. . .
I'm trying real hard to get through this review without resorting to foul language, but it's hard: the ending is nothing but bizarre: unworldly twists come out of nowhere and go nowhere, I just watched it a few minutes ago as I write this, and I'm still really angry: I feel like my time has been wasted, like the filmmakers just dissed me, that's how out-there meaningless the ending is!
1/10, would not recommend, a big waste of time.

It's an intriguing idea, the actors give fairly good performances, but the cinematography is amateurish, and the script should probably have been gone-over at least one more time before they started filming.
The direction actually isn't half-bad, but the bad camera- and sound-work makes it hard to appreciate, particularly in the outdoors scenes.
The FX aren't spectacular, but they're not bad either.
Overall, I'd call it a good effort on a low budget: I would like to have seen it if they'd had the money for proper sound equipment and taken the time to do things right.
