Clever, believable, and super fun to watch. It totally has replay value.

The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.

This is a must-see and one of the best documentaries - and films - of this year.

True to its essence, the characters remain on the same line and manage to entertain the viewer, each highlighting their own distinctive qualities or touches.

this movie is a rare hard to find pile of trash i would much rather watch films like Mr. jingles (2006) or voodoo curse: the giddeh (2006) than this movie and that says a lot because those two movies are not that great either. I was actually surprised when i found this movie was made as as recently as 2006, i thought it would have been made in the 1990's because of bad picture quality and the effects and propsi hate this movie because of the following reasonsthe effects are cheap and outdatedthe acting is okaythe filming and cinematography is god awfulthe sound quality is pretty badthere is outdated and cheap propsand the picture quality is pretty bad

Really a wonderful change from the usually hum drum plots. Moved along and delivered. The indie, low budget was obvious but did not detract. It was well worth the suspense invested and gave a good satisfaction ending. I would like to see more from these writers in the future..... with a bigger budget for improved production values. A fun, nail bitter; the viewer will appreciate. The score/sound was supportive but not intrusive. Overall, a good pick. My wife felt the same way as I did about this movie which certainly surprised me since she avoids terror, suspense and edge of your seat flicks. Would like to see it again to appreciate dialog more.

I don't know what some of the "critics" of this film have been smoking, but I don't want none of that. They be expecting Citizen Kane and this movie isn't Citizen Kane, but I like the twists and turns of this movie. I thought some of the special effects were crappy, but what do you expect from a low budget movie. I probably would have gotten rid of some of the special effects because some of them are laughable, but movies like this are not watched for the special effects, but for the script and directing angles. Give it a break. I love these people who bash a movie when they can't do any better. See this movie, not for the special effects, but for the twists, the directing, and even some of the acting is good.

In a world where Hollywood special effects and pretentious "pretty" actors rule the screen with no content, finally a film is made with intelligence, substance and meaning. A picture that makes you reflect on the subject matter and really think weeks after you've seen it. Yes, this film had no budget. Yes, it's picture image is grainy. Yes, it wasn't shot on 35mm film. But boy did it blow me away! It starts off with characters that are real. A depressed guy about to marry a girl. He doesn't care about the wedding. The girl is so stressed out by the wedding she starts having nightmares. The guy (Todd) cares more about his wannabe writing career than his fiancée and, on a whim, he writes down her dreams, submits it to a friend who works at a Talent Agency and they next thing you know, he sees a window of opportunity to jump start his career. When Jenny starts taking medication to stop the nightmares, Todd gives her a placebo to keep that story material coming for his all American Novel. Arguably one of the coolest plots for a movie I've ever heard. Congrats to the filmmakers for their originality and vision. I admire their passion and creativity. Can't wait for the next one.
