Movie Reviews

Well acted and in genre of it's own

This can't be easily classified nor is it easy to review. I would only recommend this film to friends whom were fellow thespians, filmmakers or cinephiles. And they'd have to ring true to their respective definitions to their categories.Standout acting jobs by the cast. A close-up look at mental health deteriorating and it's heartbreaking. This makes it more of a drama more than anything, to me. But, I think because it's a very unique piece of art, it will speak directly to the audience in different ways, it will translate to each individual as a distinct genre.I appreciate what was accomplished, creatively, on a small budget.

A movie with a lot of promise that doesn't deliver

The movie is, from the get-go, a tale about a man who's having a mental breakdown. Then some horror elements are introduced. But there isn't any push or pull for the viewer. We know none of this is real so the drama is lacking. Without any narrative drama we are left to follow a character who is given zero backstory and is grossly uninteresting. There are moments of great dialogue between the only two characters. Amari Cheatom is particularly good. In addition, there is some superb sound design for the horror surrounding us. The director wisely shows us little and leaves the horror all to our imagination and the sound design is the best element of that. But it's all for not as the story plods along at an uninteresting pace and ends up right where we suspected it would all along.
