Self-important, over-dramatic, uninspired.

It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

Bad Acting, Bad directing. The cinematography is really haphazardly done with no consistent linkage from one scene to the next. The acting is extremely fake for all the actors. I reckon the only good acting done was the bloody tongue wiggling on the floor. There is definitely no flow in this movie. Furthermore, within the first 5 minutes of the movie, one will definitely know that the movie has been done on the cheap. With all this negativity, I have to say that the leading actress who is Jacob's wife is extremely good looking and if I have to say so..she doesn't seem to fit the role as an actress. She seems more like a model who's confused. Jacob the lead actor does a disgusting job especially when shown tied up to the bed. His acting seems extremely fake. I don't recommend watching this movie unless you've seen all the movies in this world and are bored stiff.

OK, I decided to give this one a go just in case it turned out to be a decent film; though I'm not sure how such misleading comments happen to find their ways to the frontpage of many movies I an curious about, most seem written by someone involved with the film. Anyway, onto the film.Footage was downright grainy, though the sound quality wasn't too bad, there for a while I thought I was watching something from the 70's. The acting wasn't too bad, though I have to venture to guess the lead role was probably the writer of the script (his acting was the worst). The script was quite disjointed, and many times you'll find yourself asking "Just what the Hell is going on." Even by the end of the movie there are a lot of holes. Some writers try to get away with doing this by saying that it's up to the viewer to fill in the holes with their own ideas; I say that's just a load of crap.You can get an idea of what the movie is about simply by reading the plot summary; you won't get too much more out of the movie itself, though it did have some strange points. What would I compare this film to? How about a mix between Primer and The Attic Expeditions (awesome flick, much better than this one. Check it out!!!), some movie it isn't like are: Crash, Identity, Unknown, etc.; it wants to be like these but falls short. I will give it a few thumbs up because it kept me fairly interested and it did pick up toward the end, though nothing is really explained.Bottom Line: Not bad, but could have been done much better for the same cost. How about bringing some of the plot threads together so the audience isn't totally confused, you lose them that way.

I did not understand this movie at all. While I was watching, I was trying to explain what is happening. I reached a point while watching that I thought there is just no explanation at all. Is it voodoo magic? then played by who and why. Split personality, drugs etc..I said to myself if this movie is the type of movie that can show you anything and at the end, it leaves you with no explanations and so open ended, then this is a bad movie and is a complete waste of time to watch.It has a single scary moment that made my hair stand, which gives the movie some credit, otherwise, avoid this movie if you like logical movies that make sense.

A very hard film to comment on for a few reasons....The first thing that really hits you is that this was shot on a tight budget, not that this should put you off from watching this, it just takes 15 minutes or so just to get used to the acting and the way scenes "jump" into each other, though without giving to much away this really adds to a feeling that everything is almost dream like and not reality, though I am not sure this was intentional.If you are willing to stick with this the story really does keep you wanting to reach the end, as the film twists away very cleverly, unfortunately for me it was just to clever (or just didn't make sense at all!!), I simply did not get it and have to say I was just left thinking "what??!!??" which was disappointing as I was really getting into it.Please do not let the 2 out of 10 put you off, there is "something" to this film, and I am sure there are a few who really will enjoy this indie picture but I just didn't get it.I am really interested to see some peoples take on the ending!
