The standout "star" of this film would be Mason Grady who's work behind the camera was outstanding. Some cuts could have been longer to give you time to read things like gravestones.
This is an independent locally (Australian) made production by Mike Horan of Outlaw Films with a cast of largely unknown actors. While described as a horror film it is not that scary, it is more a mixture of suspense, mystery, scifi and thriller. It was filmed in Mudgee and NSW Central Coast but could be set in any rural town.
The story line was a bit hard to follow in terms of what is flashbacks, imagination, ghosts, the brain implant and current actual real life.
The main character of. Anna played by Megan Bell carries the film and did an outstanding job,the small role of John Barnes played by Shaun Foley looks like he belongs in a Christmas romance movie or action thriller. The character of the best friend Sophie I just found annoying.
I have seen it twice, the first was at a pre release screening at Avoca. This was indoors with a high resolution projection in comfortable surroundings. The second was at the.outdoor premier in Mudgee with a lower resolution projection and falling temparature.
For a small budget locally made film it was great, just wish I understood the story more. I look forward to future films from Mike Horan and his team (hopefully with Mason behind the camera).
