    Creative and interesting

    Interesting concept that was executed well enough to be watchable. I found it refreshing and entertaining.

    Interesting concept

    You rarely see a film about parallel universes in mainstream movies, this film fills the gap. The concept is interesting, the story plays well and well packaged for a small indie film. A few twists add to an entertaining hour and a half.

    A pretty good idea.

    This was pretty good cause it showed you what could happen if you alter things and expect other versions of you to just understand. Think of the different wavelengths humans are on in your own universe. That is how you should see this kind of situation. Annie was really a clueless chafector. I wished the movie went a different direction cause i have a lot of questions. I really did enjoy the idea of the camera and frequencies. I dont understand how those letters or the camera got where they did. The movie lost me at that point but overall it was a good idea and annie irritated me a lot. Some ppl just dont know when to stop.

    Ridiculous Premise

    The idea of accessing another dimension is interesting but the premise of this film is utterly absurd. To compound this, the acting is wooden and the reactions are nonsensical. If you were to find your video cameras were picking up on an alternate reality I'm pretty sure you would react a bit more extremely than "well that's a bit strange". I love decent low budget independent films, but this was awful. Sorry guys, you should have taken the idea of accessing an alternate reality and gone in a different direction than this. Also it is not necessary to show the camera's on screen menu ("REC", audio wave, battery power etc) in the footage as well as digitally adding lines to the footage to try to prove that it's a type of "found footage" film. Since when, nowadays, do you see this in the final footage in even what is considered "home movies"?

    Great story!

    I enjoyed this film immensely. Brianna White has solid acting chops, as do her co-stars (not surprisingly, she just won the role of Aerith in the Final Fantasy video game remake).

    I cannot speak for other reviewers, many of whom seem to have a "dark" history (and love) for trashing low budget movies- but I really did like this film. And there's a reason it's won more than a hundred film festival awards (and I checked- many were low-end festivals, but many more were NOT). So, I highly recommend this film - for horror fans, and for people who just love good stories.
