I really didn't expect to like this film but damn was I surprised. I'm usually not into these kind of movies (don't want to spoil the ending), so liking it despite that makes it even better.

The story is very mysterious and intriguing, makes you question "why", "what", "where", all the time. It never gets dull. Most characters are interesting and the film gets you invested in the main protagonist.

Now, there are obvious flaws and holes in the plot but for the most part, it was an enjoyable indie horror. I saw the twist coming, was hoping it wasn't that kind of a twist but somehow even that worked decently well.

More indies like this! 5.5/10.

We're not talking the best movie here. It's been done many times before and it's been done better. Much better. But, it does have some redeeming qualities and I actually liked it. Well, kind of. If you like low budget B-Movies, give it a watch. It won't make your day. But it's an OK'ish time killer.

Saw this yesterday. I enjoyed it. Very disturbing and claustrophobic, especially if you like medical and body horror. Made the most of its limited budget. Unfortunately for me, I heard someone compare it to another film, so I knew what was going on from the start. But if you just go in blind, I think it's a fun way to spend 90 minutes. There are some really embarrassing green-screen effects at the very end, but it didn't ruin it for me. I was more like, awwwww that's cute that they tried that. I thought the lead actress did a fine job, the main doctor was good, and I enjoyed all the weird-o patients. I think the whole production team was sincere in their desire to make an enjoyable film, and I think they were successful. It's certainly not the best thing ever, but it shouldn't make you angry either. If the trailer intrigues you, give it a shot!

While it won't win any major awards, you won't regret curling up with this one on Halloween.

If the story and climax seem somewhat predictable, don't worry. It's the dressing and details that differentiate one attempt from another. This one moves. The plot keeps just enough mystery to make the final outcome uncertain and the players carry their characters well enough to maintain empathy and interest. If you are intrigued by Dante's perspectives of hell, then you'll especially enjoy this cinematic rendition of something similar.

So, what message does this vision deliver? Simple. Be good to one another because you'll never know how, when, where or why!

This is obviously a low budget film but there is quite an interesting concept which will be keeping you engaged until is revealed towards the end. From the reviews here, I can see that people didn't like it, but I do not think it was a bad movie.

Screenplay was the highlight for me, acting had some weak points and the directing was following basic safe rules for a film with a mysterious ending. Give it a go... maybe you will like it as I did!

There is an interesting Balkan connection there... not sure what to make out of it.
