Looks Exactly Like 'Puffy Chair.'


Right down to the camera work. I must say, I am a little tired of late 20s, upper-class white kids discovering that they have to grow up.

"They shoot horses, don't they?"

I'm sick of that, too, but I think this one is clearly different in that they're being stalked by a psycho with a bag over his head. And that the plot is completely different from "Puffy Chair."

Oh, I agree with you. I saw this film and loved it. I also saw "The Puffy Chair", which also is what they call a "Mumblecore" genre film.
But, this one's no Puffy, nor is the reverse true, IMO.
I liked both films for their totally unaffected performances.

Actually, I was most taken by the similarity of this film's poster, and that of Paul Mazursky's "Bob, Carol, Ted and Alice", which you can see here:

what do you want, the guys had no budget, that's why it's an indie movie. LOL.

Unlike most indie films that try to accomplish too much...usually FX...this was done and filmed perfectly. It had twists and turns and then another twist but all believable ones, nothing ridiculous.

The dream gave him the idea...they all talked about it. Michelle then gets spooked by Catherine.....and then some pranks are set in motion. Those pranks give Matt the idea to spook everyone, which completely makes sense since he got Jeffs number earlier to hook up.

Everything seemed to work out, although I'd have liked to see the footage they claimed to make, although I'm guessing there was no real usable footage, justimplied for budget reasons. They'd have needed to shoot other footage while the chase was really going on.

Great film overall....nice boobs too.


The up close and personal style worked very well and the writing was done very well and appeared to be pretty improv-like. That's not easy to achieve but pretty easy to spot. I got some good improv in my movie Unrest. It's no 1 hour 20 min film, but it's 22 minutes, a true indie, no budget film with some actual filming style unlike this rogue style. But...that's just the way I do things.

Check it out if you like.
