Director: Michael Zaiko Hall Writers: Oliver Caspersen (story by), Michael Zaiko Hall (screenwriter) Guys, i ve watch this thing just because of you!!! i wish i wasnt seing it at all! how did you come up with this crew? Story line wasnt for everyone, i get it! but acting and the people in this should be way better!!!!!!! And the way you shoot it!!!??? Cheap copy of some Horror movies which i dont even wanna say the names! i expect better from you, either you were need it quick money and you ve got cheap crew or you ve slept with does women and you couldnt say no ... you need to rethink of being director again or ask to yourself; if its the way you wanna waste your name like this! Go back to special effects or do it something better!!

Good plot idea. Some decent acting on the girls' part. This movie would be a decent attempt at a school of the arts film but the director forgot one thing... a movie is supposed to be good, not just artsy.

What is with the delivery of the dialogue. I'm intrigued by it. Was it direction or just terrible acting? Both?

And the changing of aspect ratios... jesus

I do wish I could give it a higher mark, but some of the way its shot comes off as amateurish and disjointed. I really hate the shaky camera business - even though in this case it is done for a certain effect I still wish they would have come up with another way.

But the story is really interesting and creative, albeit it can be difficult to follow and may not be for everyone. This is definitely not gonna be for everyone its very creative but I enjoyed it.

When the director has a cinematography background instead of being a writer, you can almost excuse a poor plot. But you'd like to think it would at least be visually stunning. Unfortunately, even with the sound turned off, this film is excruciating to watch. For example, the screen image goes from the normal HDTV dimensions all the way to 3:55:1 (half as tall for the same width) and back again, sometimes quite rapidly. That's like trying to peek through a gap between your fingers while your hand covers your eyes. Also, the film has been heavily color filtered. If you think of the normal spectrum of colors as ROYGBIV, all you would see on the film is just the OY part. And that's about half of the movie. Getting away from just the cinematography of the film to the other aspects, there's a confusing Russian accent on the main character, sound recording that suggests that most everything was dubbed later, and a line delivery style that seems like the actors are reading things off of cue cards for the first time. All of this makes trying to follow anything almost impossible. But, by the end of the movie, you'll realize that it was never worth trying to figure out. It's just an it-sounded-deep-when-I-was-on-peyote plot with flimsy cardboard characters and the most gratuitous of nude scenes ever.
