I was surprised that this was a $12000 budget movie. The acting is good, the plot is fun. I enjoyed it.There are a lot of "B" movies. This is one of the better ones. The effects were very good for low-budget. I'd be happy to watch a sequel.The person who claimed reviewers are "stuffing the ballot box" should stop complaining.If you enjoy fun, well-plotted movies with believable characters you wouldn't mind knowing in real life, this is one of those movies.

This is exactly what is wrong with this site. Look at the other people who have reviewed this film and raved about it. This is the ONLY film that ANY of them have ever reviewed. This movie cost $12,000 to make, and it shows...badly. In this age, for a REAL film, $12,000 is about what the catering service gets paid. The expression, "You get what you pay for" seems to have fallen on deaf ears of these people and now they are trying to generate excitement the new-fashioned way, by logging on with different screen names and trying to polish their $12,000 turd into an emerald, one fake review at a time. While I've seen worse films, those were mostly high school student projects using Super-8 film cameras.

I come from the era of the B movie, so I've seen a lot of low budget films, and even a lot of high budget films with bad actors or bad scripting, so I didn't really expect much from something made mostly under one person that appears to be in college.This movie blew my mind. The acting was up to par with a lot of Hollywood high budget movies. There were some lame parts, but if you've never noticed some top actors that make millions get away on looks and stereotype and can barely act either, so these actors were excellent (and actresses of course).The story line about grown kids visiting their father in prison and suddenly strange things start to happen (I won't go into any spoilers here) was riveting and well done enough to keep you going, like reading a book where you just had to turn the next page to see what was going to happen.The special effects may not have been Star Wars class but they were far beyond Battle Beyond the Stars or The Last Starfighter, both excellent for their time. The question isn't does Nick Chamberlin have a future in show business, it's which they grab him for first - director of music, film or special effects, or will he simply be the next Steven Spielberg.

Coming out as an independent film, I expected this movie to be very spotty and missing a lot of detail. The movie left open enough room for not only a second movie which would be absolutely phenomenal but they may also choose a prequel if ever wished upon.Likes I had about this movie include its well rounded story line which was focused on a single center focus while each scene added suspense to what the next move was going to be. Also, the emotional aspect behind each character as more spread out. I feel this film could have added a little more outside dynamic such as outdoor interaction, but for a film that cost approximately $12,000 to make, I am in awe to its greatness.
