This was a real surprise - good photography, superlative acting from Stephen Twardokus; he stole the whole movie for me.
A read a few reviews before i decide to watch a movie but its getting quite hard to garner the proper reviews from the shills but still it astounds me how many people cannot properly review a movie - we now have the shills who are bigging up movies with constant 10/10 reviews - this means its the best movie you have ever seen and these come by once in a blue moon, then there are the ones who just review a movie on the criteria that its not real life or the plot is too bizarre - life is bizarre; going to the cinema is all about being removed from reality; its called fiction.
So here is how i review a movie - If it keeps me watching ,involved and i can leave reality behind and become immersed in the film regardless of how unconventional the plot or story is - i don't go looking for mistakes or whether anything is of the period, if the soldiers have the correct jacket lapel or drives the right jeep - who does that?
If the movie elicits emotions; a tear or two or makes you feel good, bad or makes you think then that is a success for me and this film does many of those things - it is well shot and in the end it does ask us questions of our lives and how we live them. I found the end very touching and I am sure this is what the writers were attempting to give to the viewer, perhaps from their own experiences of life and that makes it a good movie for me. It is not oscar winning material nor does it pretend to be but it has something more to say than the usual stalk, slash, blood and gore horror movies and i like that so sue me!

Actually Quite A Good Psychological Exploration Of Loneliness
Amateur LBGT themed movie - not horror
Looks can be deceiving and when a gay man on a trail know for gay pick-ups sets his sights on an another guy that rejects him he suddenly has an injury and convinces him to help him which turns into an ordeal. Dialogue is always very stilted and weird. We learn what the main characters deal and issues are. Not a very satisfying conclusion and not horror either. Very unrealistic that he could trick people into chasing them for hours on end into the night. I would think those individuals would have given up and reported it. And completely unbelievable one asthmatic guy could take on two other guys with no weapons. Attempt at suspense but that was even really a let down.
Surprisingly good
A well made, well acted movie about dirty little secrets and a whole lot more. Great thriller.
