The makers of this little Indie picture really tried to reach for more than the usual stalk and slash type movie. It's a little slow paced, which might lose some people, but there's quite a bit of thought behind what's going on. The performances aren't bad (some even quite good!) and the main highlight is the FX work. Yeah there's a few bad shots, but some are completely invisible. Also the musical score sounds like a big budget flick.

The behind the scenes and out takes are a hoot! Pretty choice for some folks working out of their local media center (which gets a nod during the end credits).

This was my first low or no budget film. I have seen many since that time because of this movie. The first thing that got me hooked on this film was the opening music; it draws you in and starts you on the path of the film. The movie is part Sci-fi, part conspiracy, with a little bit of supernatural thrown in to keep you from trusting the shadows in your own room. The movie is gray in mood and even in parts of characters triumph, you have the feeling it is just the beginning of the worst to come. Acting was good some better then others, but no worst than some of the blockbuster hit I have seen for $10. If you like to see movies with sole and made by people that still care for the true art of film making then you need this one in your collection or if you want a break from the Hollywood cookie cutter big budget movies.
