A day of grim tedium loomed ahead.


"A day of grim tedium loomed ahead." he reads in a book.
That could have been describing the ordeal of having to watch this!

At the very start when he wakes up I said to myself: "I bet he doesn't know his own name!" typical of this kind of movie, and it was so. It seemed more like a family home video, made by kids with no budget, pretending to have woken up in a strange house, and pretending not to knowing anything about anything.

In a trailer you might get some (cliché) fade to black between dramatic scenes, here the first FIGHT scene is all faded to black! No slow motion, cool stabbing here (I bet kids would have included THAT, though) its all done like he is suffering some sort of time lapse!

Weird that he can tunnel into a WALL, but can't break/open a window or go through a wooden door! Also, its like he is totally "untrained". No Rambo military snare drum as he prepares himself. Nope. He's like a total idiot the whole time... but then, who is a more of an idiot? The idiot himself or the idiots that watch the idiot?
*sigh*
As he said himself, tedium (and extreme irritation) will loom ahead for anyone who watches this.
"How to Irritate People" was way more fun than watching this.

Yeah, it wasn't quite so bad for me because I managed to play Plants VS. Zombies while watching. I didn't have quite the same problems that you had, but anytime I see that kind of set up in a horror/thriller I think, "guy is dead or in purgatory and doesn't know it." Didn't expect him to be ripped in half, nice at the very end how he was trying to reach for his hat/beret. Oh yeah, put your hat on, that'll help.

Sadly I took the word of a critic I USED to trust (not so much now) that this was like some undiscovered horror gem that was really creepy and disturbing. I don't mind downer endings but it depends on the circumstances... it was obvious he was not going to go back to any kind of regular happy life.


Sure wish I'd checked these boards before watching it...for free, and also on the upside, it was only 70 minutes. I think a 20-minute film (max) could have been just as effective.

Everything that you see, I owe to spaghetti.

Who gives a *beep* This thing sucked so bad I don't think I even watched it to the end! We need to warn others! All part of the service (of these discussion boards). Anyway, I am doing my best to forget as much as I can about this rubbish.

(It is important to explain what is wrong with something (or good about it) when making comments. Too many people say something is crap (or good) without explaining why. Hence the many words.) ... but then, people stooping to personal abuse on a MOVIE DISCUSSION BOARD really deserve to be ignored. To say nothing of the total spoiler you included, which we (may have) purposely left out.

(Edit: Which is fine with me, if it means fewer people waste their time with this thing.)
