Look up Jonny Cage's Horror Movie Reviews for the full review: I found out about this movie on MySpace. The official MySpace page for the movie asked to be my friend and I did a little research. I thought that the trailers all looked really cool and the cover art is pretty sweet. So, once it came out, I found it. And as you may have guessed, I loved it! This is one of the best indie films I've seen in a long time. The camera work is not all that amazing, but I'll get to that later. For right now, just know that this movie is gonna make waves.
The story is a little bit confusing for the average viewer. It's really confusing for those of you who are not necessarily, uh, horror-savvy. But overall I thought that the story was very well thought out and was compelling throughout. I liked how Josh's memory of his last moment with his wife changed throughout the story. It gave it that little something extra to keep you wondering. And do you know what sets this extraordinary movie apart form ordinary movies? It's that little extra. Yes, that's a movie quote. If you're not gonna keep up, go home.
The effects were my favorite part of the movie. I loved how they made the figure fluid; almost liquid in the air. I also loved the effects used to accelerate time and the ones used to distort the viewer's perception of reality. This effects director deserves major credit for putting this viewing experience together with almost flawless continuity. The only thing I would have liked to see is some ballsier camera work. It seemed like most of the shots were done with a stabilized camera that didn't want to or wasn't supposed to move. That's really my only complaint.
Rating: 23. Overall I thought this movie was absolutely awesome. It's one of those flicks that comes out straight to DVD, gets little recognition, after a while gathers and underground following, then explodes into a classic. I know I am building it up quite a bit but, it was just very well done! So, I would suggest you should take time out of your day and rent this movie, yes, go out of your way to rent this one.
