Solemplex To me, this movie is perfection.
Matialth Good concept, poorly executed.
Dynamixor The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.
Allison Davies The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.
wendycameronk Unfortunately, I couldn't watch this film due to the shaky camera..I turned it off after 10 minutes. I like this genre, but that horrible SHAKE makes me too dizzy and bordering on nausea. I've missed a lot of good (looking) movies because of the awful camera work..
James Tabor I was terribly disappointed in this film by a director, Joe Swanberg, whom I had come to admire and follow quite avidly. I did not so much object to the wavy camera technique, the flashbacks making the narrative sequence a challenge to follow, or even the muffled dialog and confusing lighting. The story itself was utterly and totally inane, stupid, ridiculous. It was not that it had a "surprise" ending but that the ending was utterly absurd. Truly a disappointment and all the more so coming from Swanberg, who has done such great work. How Amy Seimetz agreed to participate I have no idea...she is truly one of the great actresses of our time.
Mark Vessey More of a thriller than it is a horror, although the suspense is straight out of any good horror flick. There's no joy to be found here in this grim, bleak and melancholic take on the serial killer genre with an excellent twist. The lead actors do such a fantastic job of making us care or loathe for these believable and well structured characters that it can be easy to forgive the film for its shortcomings in its questionable cinematography and irritating shooting style. The pacing is also excellent in giving equal parts character development and subtle plot points leading up to a fantastic finale with the previously mentioned unspeakable twist, although the ending is somewhat abrupt and unsatisfactory.
BoatDRinX I watched this movie because it was billed as 'Horror'. The only thing that was horrific was the cameraman and editorial department. They couldn't even afford fake blood - so they filmed all the murders off camera.The only reason I did not shut the movie off after the first 15 minutes was twofold - first: a lot of the actors were actually decent. Second: the story was a pretty original one, albeit the film managed to make it really confusing from start to finish, if a semi talented director would have gotten this story it could have made for a really decent movie. My Advice To You: If your not a film student - STAY AWAY!
