    Last Ten Minutes Are Bonkers!

    What a surreal ride! Growing up in a small town myself, this film hit a little too close to home. Whoever wrote this musta grown up near me, sheesh! Loved Gator and his antics. I was a little annoyed by Janice, but overall still enjoyed the film.

    Dragged a little in some spots, but the last ten minutes totally made up for it, had me on the edge of my seat for sure!

    Dark and Intriguing

    I watched this film twice because it intrigued me so much. Definitely a solid independent art-house film. There are some deep psychological issues exposed in the characters and their dreams. I thought the acting was solid and the cinematography was fantastic. The compositions added to the storytelling by occasionally breaking the rules. It had hints of Donny Darko, but it stands on it's own two feet.

    Come and see

    Freudian psychology fans are going to love this. The best cinematic rendering of the Ego/Id conflict since German Expressionism. A great soundtrack too, which reminded us of Eyes Wide Shut at times. Creepy and recommended.

    Great indie film for anyone who grew up hating their small town

    As someone who grew up not fitting in with my small town, I totally dug this film. It definately brought back memories. Great story telling.

    Very well made for an amateur filmmaker.

    I found out about this film through Instagram and I'm kind of glad I did. This is an nice psychological thriller with a scary plot. Though some of the acting was a bit monotone, I really enjoyed the film's use of scare factors and Dutch angles that only add to the horror even more. Very well made for an amateur filmmaker.

    • Trivia
      The Film was shot on location of Director Christopher Sheffield's childhood home, his high school, and various hang out spots from his time growing up in Yuma.

      Ten minutes into the film William arrives at school on his bicycle and puts his cable lock around a light post and one side of the bike's handle bars. This is not the proper way to lock a bicycle and anyone that would have seen it, would have made it easy for them to steal the bicycle. Later on in the film, William discovers his bicycle destroyed but it likely would have been gone due to the incorrect locking method.
