This was a pretty interesting little thriller
The plot was really fun, while a little deluded and occasionally predictable, the idea of perception-of-reality was interesting and well done. The pacing was also pretty decent, it never felt as though it was dragging, but it didn't feel rushed.
Both John Cassini and Sara Garcia played their characters well, and I feel they bounced off each other surprisingly effectively. The writing felt a little haphazard in some places but it was passable as well.
Third act was also a good way to tie thing up, though the last five minutes or so felt unnecessary. Not awful by any means though.
All in all, a fairly impressive film, even more so because it's a directorial debut. You won't be disappointed if you know what you're getting into.

First of all I have to say that - once again - my theory that the imdb crowd cannot be trusted with horror movies is confirmed. I almost didn't watch this one due to its abymal rating, but when I did, it turned out to be one of the best I've come across in a while. It's hard to say much about it without giving too much away. Let me just say this: It's starts rather slow, explodes in the second half and keeps you surprised with twists and turns along the way. For mature genre fans it is definitely a treat.
And "deadly" - for your sanity and other "things". Now the German title of the movie got a tag line that some may say is quite the spoiler ... at least it indicates something that already gives you a view into what you are about to watch. German title "givers" like to do stuff like that ... explaining or spoiling a movie ... it is what it is.
The movie may have a slow pace at the beginning, but once it gets going ... it really gets going! And yes there is only a binary choice when it comes to guessing where this leads ... so no cookie for you if you guess it right. Still this can be entertaining, while also straining and exhausting! Yes the main characters seem despicable to say the least ... or not likeable ... but if you wrap your head around that, if you suspend your disbelief ... this can be the horror/thriller you can dig and be entertained by (not literally, you know what I mean).

Movie has you guessing from the beginning.
A littlw confusing at times. But a good movie
. Deserves rating higher than a 1 that's for sure.
The reviews for this were seemingly off the charts (according to RT). So I went in thinking I missed it a couple years ago because I had never heard of it.
Oh how I wish I could go back to that time. This movie is honestly, nothing special. But, there was certainly an effort put in to make it a bit better than an average low budget slash and hack movie.
The acting...is fine. And the story with the twists and all...is okay. This whole film seemed like it was more or less a showcase for the main star (Sara Garcia). And she's good - but I think she's better suited for subtle drama rather than hardcore horror. That's just my opinion.
The effects and direction are all pretty good. But again, if one should miss this movie, you really aren't losing anything. It's just- okay.
