As I read the other reviewers, I was NOT on the edge of my seat. The characters had no chemistry especially Billy and Lisa. All I got out of the movie is Lisa is obsessed w/her phone and Billy is annoyed over Lisa being on her phone constantly. I don't know if Billy saw the murder or did he make it up. Was it his parents that was killed when he was six years old? And than it just ended (now I'm really confused) with the cop looking up the murders and them (the couple) driving off. So, I don't know what was going on in this movie.
Plot summary
A young couple sets out on a weekend getaway in hopes of mending their failing relationship. However, a seemingly innocent weekend turns dark when the man discovers a videotape chronicling the events of a murder in his very own hotel room from years before.

Did you leave the draw open?
Billy (Gabe Fazio) smokes and Lisa (Augie Duke) texts too much, yet they are going away together on the weekend to a small tourist island south of New York. Billy recalled the Inn from his childhood past. Since the rest stop incident, Billy has been in the Twilight zone with painting falling, drawers opening, and finally a VHS snuff film tape he discovers under the bed.
The film comes together at the end and was rather clever, except the execution, i.e. direction, acting and dialogue made things anti-climatic. The characters were rather gray and unexciting. The discovery could have been done better.
Guide: F-word. No sex or nudity.
I loved it!
I'm worried in time I might not be able to connect the film's title to the movie, and that would be a shame, because I really enjoyed this!
This low budget feature has a lot of merit. It's a good story, and very atmospheric, and rather creepy at times. There are also some very disturbing scenes. Gabe Fazio is undoubtedly the film's highlight! His performance is incredible. This guy gave his all for this film, and it shows. I felt his happiness, pain and agony, and he was able to convey so much with a simple facial expression. I mean, give him an Oscar already!!
Gabe Fazio stars as Billy Curtis, who returns to a place he remembers from when he was just six years old. Listen carefully to his dialogue, as it plays a big part later in the film and - if you listen very carefully - will explain the ending. Also take note of small details during the course of the film.
There's quite a bit here that has no payoff. Billy constantly complains about his girlfriend, Lisa, spending too much time texting. She also often "has to phone her mother", but it never contributes to the story in any way. In fact, for most parts I didn't really care for Lisa. Billy - or Gabe for that matter - stole the show in every scene. (Ok, but Augie Duke was good as Lisa - lets give credit where credit is due). Towards the end I felt so sorry for Billy - especially after the twist ending. I wonder if everyone will realize what had happened and what this ending actually means? As I said, you have to pay very close attention to what he says during the first act. I loved this film!
