it is a low budget, bad acting film. Avoid this film, waste of time. There is no plot.

This film is BEYOND bad. Clearly it was shot with video camcorders. All the shots are grainy, there is no professional lighting. The acting is dreadful, the "fight scenes" are pathetic. It looks like somebody's freshman student film project. Utter crap.

i had no problem with the visuals but i felt betrayed for a proper plot.
nothing gets explained, just plain nothing. it's like watching the streets for no reason. stuff happens to which you are not able to relate to.

good stuff gets cancelled but every now and then such a lousy flick gets to see the light... either the director prostituted himself to get his movie funded or there are other obscure reasons for funding such a bad movie.

at least they could have come up with some lame excuses like every other movie does, but they just did not bother telling the viewer what the efjusiekey was going on.

This movie was okay, I would say a C+. It is a low budget so you will need to keep that in mind for the look. The acting was ok but you really can't judge true acting in horror movies, when was the last time a horror or action movie won an oscar for acting. I partially agree with you.

Basically, the plot is simple : people up in high places are doing experimental psychological mind games on the masses and our main characters are unknowingly involved and trying to escape what seems to be a certain death. That's all you need to know about the plot.

Why? The film is not about the plot. The film is about the tension generated throughout the film. The tension is the very point of the film.... Personally I enjoyed that a lot, but it may be just a Belgian thing.
