This movie seemed like a borderline arthouse project.

I think it was just arty/experimental enough with various divided-screens and psychdelic scenes to be interesting without crossing the line over to self indulgent. I liked it a lot.

Also, I noticed the name of the pawn shop was "pontypool" which is the name of a terrific zombie-flick by the same director some 7-8 years later.

It was awful. They used it only to distract the viewer's attention away from the lack of tension and the dullness of the scenes. An example is the chase sequence in the train station.

If you want to see screen fragmentation used in a way that serves the storyline, check out 'Buffalo 66'.
