Thanks for the memories!

All that we are seeing on the screen is happening with real people, real action sequences in the background, forcing the eye to watch as if we were there.

The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

The AHHCTING! It's awful! But everything else - besides the low, low budget - is really great. I hope the director got paid well, at least, because it seems to me he must have worked pretty hard on this. The writing is just OK - that doesn't help - concept is great as is the execution.I really want to care about these people but then they start AHHCTING! again and I'm all "didn't I see him in that ad for Nescafe?" and then the screaming comes back and I remember to watch the movie. Once I do that and calm myself with the fact that, at least the actors LOOK right for their parts, and really just pay attention to the movie as a whole it's pretty good, in fact.And, as someone else mentioned - I'd call it a Thriller or Mystery before I called it Sci-Fi any day. Or I might say: SPOILER: "Surprise! It's Sci-Fi!" If that could be a label.

Matt and Kate both awaken in an abandoned prison, neither one of them recalling the chain of events that led them there. They don't seem to be alone as they have run-ins with supernatural creatures. Meanwhile Raquel is being interrogated by police detective Marks about a series of unexplained murders. Could she have any connection to the two trapped people? While I applaud the makers of this movie for trying something a bit different in a DTV market populated by interchangeable cardboard cut and paste slasher films, the outcome wasn't the sum of it's parts. The story itself was pretty interesting and, for a DTV release, most of the acting was adequate (some was embarrassingly bad though) But the frequent jump cuts became a tad grating after a while and the ending (which i won't spoil) was so far out of left field that it just about ruined the whole film for me. I'd like to see certain actresses in this movie in other films though.My Grade: D+

Warning to those who take this movie solely on its Genre category of Sci-Fi. It IS a Sci-Fi movie-- but only in the technical sense. There are NO flashy pyrotechnics and FX. No slithering aliens or monstrosities. This is a Sci-Fi movie in that the story really comes from a Story that touches on the philosophical question that can only be raised in the presence of technology. So those who expect a Saturday night flashy boom-boom screamer will be disappointed because of misplaced expectations.This one is a Thinker's Sci-Fi.And it's a Mystery. One-- they did this with a non-Hollywood budget.Two-- they did it with Good Actors who I hope move onwards and upwards.Three-- The script and the setting had holding power thru the simple but elusive power of Mystery: Who were they? Where were they? What did they do to cause their imprisonment? What did they have to do to get out? If one of them was to succeed, does one of them have to fail? The Audience watches with those questions in the fore-front. You want to know.Four-- the cut interrogation scenes from outside the prison that seem to tie elusively to the two victims inside the strange, deserted prison. What's the connection? The ending surprised the heck out of me because the creators allows the audience take a very common direction for explanations. . .then TWIST. YES-- it was what you began to think. and NO, it was different.To tell you more is to take the spice out of the movie and destroys what the creators are doing. WATCH it and draw your conclusions. It touches Innocence, Crime & Punishment, Redemption & Religious belief. But none of these fit together the way you THINK they do.The beauty of this movie is that the detailed Pieces of the Puzzle will continue to fit themselves together after the credits have rolled.This one is a Saturday Night Movie-- but you have to be prepared for it. You have to pay attention. This one is what I call a "Girlfriend Test Movie" because the plight of the two victims should engage her with metaphorical questions. If your Girlfriend does not feel engaged during the movie or asks probing questions at the end -- Dump her. You can do much, much better. If her intellect is engaged by this movie-- you will do well together.I'll watch for the creators of this movie-- they have the roots of story-telling genius.

This film should be shown at every film school across the country to show what can be done with a small budget, creative idea for a story, some half decent no-name actors and an amazing Director/DP. The film looks gorgeous, the acting is fairly decent, and the twist at the end, while somewhat clichéd, is still handled well. The music/sound I thought was very effective, and first time actress Sarah Jackson is a natural. For being his first feature director Richard Boddington proved he can deliver. Worth checking out.R.
