Wonderful character development!

Please don't spend money on this.

The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

One of the best movies of the year! Incredible from the beginning to the end.

Bad Acting, Bad directing. The cinematography is really haphazardly done with no consistent linkage from one scene to the next. The acting is extremely fake for all the actors. I reckon the only good acting done was the bloody tongue wiggling on the floor. There is definitely no flow in this movie. Furthermore, within the first 5 minutes of the movie, one will definitely know that the movie has been done on the cheap. With all this negativity, I have to say that the leading actress who is Jacob's wife is extremely good looking and if I have to say so..she doesn't seem to fit the role as an actress. She seems more like a model who's confused. Jacob the lead actor does a disgusting job especially when shown tied up to the bed. His acting seems extremely fake. I don't recommend watching this movie unless you've seen all the movies in this world and are bored stiff.

I have never been fired up enough to make a comment on IMDb but after watching this movie I just could not help myself. This film (if you can call it that) is easily the worst travesty in cinematic history and believe me I have seen some bad movies in my time. There is only one reason for anyone to ever watch this film and that is if they are having trouble sleeping as it knocks you out faster than an elephant tranquiliser.I implore anyone that is considering renting this movie to spend an hour and half doing something more fun with their time (like castration or dinner with the mother in law) Shot for under $500,000 (I would guess it was shot for under $100) the acting is non-existent and at the end of the film I was still looking for a plot. In short anyone that had a hand in making this film should do the industry a favour and quit before they torture the public with more of this tripe.

OK, I decided to give this one a go just in case it turned out to be a decent film; though I'm not sure how such misleading comments happen to find their ways to the frontpage of many movies I an curious about, most seem written by someone involved with the film. Anyway, onto the film.Footage was downright grainy, though the sound quality wasn't too bad, there for a while I thought I was watching something from the 70's. The acting wasn't too bad, though I have to venture to guess the lead role was probably the writer of the script (his acting was the worst). The script was quite disjointed, and many times you'll find yourself asking "Just what the Hell is going on." Even by the end of the movie there are a lot of holes. Some writers try to get away with doing this by saying that it's up to the viewer to fill in the holes with their own ideas; I say that's just a load of crap.You can get an idea of what the movie is about simply by reading the plot summary; you won't get too much more out of the movie itself, though it did have some strange points. What would I compare this film to? How about a mix between Primer and The Attic Expeditions (awesome flick, much better than this one. Check it out!!!), some movie it isn't like are: Crash, Identity, Unknown, etc.; it wants to be like these but falls short. I will give it a few thumbs up because it kept me fairly interested and it did pick up toward the end, though nothing is really explained.Bottom Line: Not bad, but could have been done much better for the same cost. How about bringing some of the plot threads together so the audience isn't totally confused, you lose them that way.

This a strange little film. Every aspect screams "amateur" - the acting quality is a tiny notch above porn, the script trips into cliché at the worst moments, the direction is clumsy, the lighting (when they use any) veers between daylight or an 80s soft-rock ballad video. However, the story is great. I didn't see what was coming (truth be told it would be hard to predict) but there were clues planted along the way when you look back on it.Whether this all makes sense is another matter, but maybe that's the point. I enjoyed watching it - it was wanting to know what happened at the end that kept me going, even though all through it I kept thinking "This is so bad..." The last 60 seconds of the film, however, should have been cut, as they ultimately spoil it.Give this story to some new writers, director and cast, and it could have been a hit.
