Enjoyed this film?

I feel as if I am in limited company when I say that I enjoyed this film. The dialogue was entertaining and realistic, the brother-sister bickering was incredibly accurate and had me laughing to myself after a couple scenes.

The actors do a pretty damn good job with their roles, my only complaint being that Martin's character breaks character for a short period during one segment of his huge monologue. The directing was spot on (I believe the movie had a good overall aesthetic to it). Scene transitions were definitely different, but in a new and interesting way. The ending had me wishing the film would have been a bit longer to expand on some of the ideas presented at the end. Overall the film wasn't anything special, but that's not to say it was a bad film. I was thoroughly entertained from start to finish and that's all you can really ask from this genre nowadays.

I enjoyed it. I'm glad its only an hour and 18 min. long tho. I feel like it could have been an episode of some horror tv show. The poster shows a tag line that says "Reminiscent of the Best X-files". I agree with that a little bit. Could have been good an hour long tv show.

One thing I had a complaint about and that is they kinda over did the music in a few spots.

I enjoyed it. Very well done for a low budget horror/SciFi flick. The dialogue was good (though I don't care about it being realistic--I hate what I call "the realism fetish", but it's not like I'd dislike something just because it's realistic), the performances were excellent, and it had a lot of well-paced tension and mystery. The direction was really good, including the decisions made about handling the big, extended "reveal."

If someone doesn't like films that are basically like small-scale stageplays, or they don't like dialogue-heavy flicks or a lot of "yelling" it could be a difficult watch for them, but if one doesn't mind or likes those things, it's definitely worth a watch.

And yeah, it is relatively short, but I thought it felt just the right length for what it is, for its structure. It certainly didn't feel underdeveloped or truncated or anything like that to me.

The music was exceptionally well done. The acting was quite good. Overall an OK movie for me.

I enjoyed it also. After reading the negative reviews I wasn't expecting too much but I really liked it. When a movie leaves you wanting to know more of the story it has done its job. I want to know more.
