I nearly didn't watch this. It came up on Amazon Prime as recommended, maybe based on other films I've watched, so thought I'd check IMDB for its score. It had a low 4.9, however recent reviews were very positive, so I decided to watch it.

I was pleasently surprised. Whilst low budget, it had a good plot, which I enjoyed thoroughly. I recognised 2 of the actors from Cosmos, which is even better. The mum is from Fresh Meat!

So, if you like films with a bit of Sci-fi and a plot that keeps you wondering what exactly is going on, this is for you!

An interesting one - When it comes to low budget British indie films this is up there. Great performances from the leads and an interesting story. This film is fairly swift with a nice short run time and an engaging twisty story with a really cool payoff. Not much else to say but worth a watch for sure.

Its one of those films that's going to have a little cult following I think.

So it was a bit different than I was expecting, and the film felt like a "murder mystery" to be solved with Sci-fi elements throughout most of the film. Including flash backs to the events leading up to the daughter disappearing.

Because of this it is a very character based drama, but it does keep you guessing, and actually I really loved the twist at the end. And the end does make the film make a lot more sense as a Sci-Fi too. It was well acted, and the overall quality was really decent too. Much better than a lot of indies out there.

Strobe Warning! There are strobe effects when the machine gets turned on.

The story kept me interested throughout, I was not sure which direction it was going to go and the main plot of the movie was a thought provoking concept. The highlight for me though was the emotional representation of the lead roles who are trying to navigate through their grief and the impact this has on their relationship.

I found this movie had a really interesting take on the theme of alternate realities and is one of the few movies in this genre where I was left saying "Wow, I didn't see that coming" which was a pleasant surprise. The story also did a good job of keeping the alternate timelines together and cohesive. I really enjoyed it. One note: This is the type of movie you can't leave to go get a snack, etc otherwise you will be lost. Get everything you need ahead of time and pay attention to the details.
