Every once in a while you happen on a movie completely by accident, and it turns out to be a really nice surprise. This is for me one of those times. I was about to watch something else, and just couldn't get into it, so I switched at random to this, and even in the first five minutes I was ready to pull the plug, and just catch up on the last couple of episodes of The Originals. Really glad I didn't, and I am going to tell you why. This is one of those small nearly one room set pieces with a total cast of three. What you get in that small set is a Groundhogs day meets The Cube, and Outpost 11 style fantasy. There is a lot of amazing depth, and strong acting, and surprisingly there is a lot of action, and a little humour. There is nothing about this movie I would not recommend, however if you need a bit more than your brain stimulated, this movie might not be for you, and if you get lost in simple plots, the same applies. However if you like fantasy, and you would like to see something new with good acting, and a really relateable if fantastic, story I say hop in. The end does telegraph itself rather quickly once it does, but this does not take away from most of the movie, or any for some I'm sure.

The costumes and makeup on the bad guys, which the credits title as "The Fallen", is childish and amateur at best. The story is dull and uninteresting. The ending becomes apparent after 30 minutes into the film. 90 minutes of my life I can never get back. Don't waste your time. The only appealing things are that there are only 3 actors in the entire film, the title is just one word so it doesn't waste too much ink and the movie does in fact eventually end. It may seem at times that you are stuck in an unending hell, just like the actors in the story, but when the movie ends you are reminded that your hell was only 90 minutes long.

Be that at is may, let's discuss the movie itself. Let's see....every 15 minutes or so I paused it to do something else. Not exactly engrossing. The movie was pretty much a guy stuck in a house and not having a good time of it. The ghoul was just stupid. I guess because I had figured it out from the beginning made it all excruciatingly boring for me. Not worth the one star I gave it. And slap the people who made it. They ripped off a classic.
... View MoreThis movie looked intriguing at first. As it progressed I watched it to completion only to be greatly disappointed and not having any real plot. The movie is about an injured royal marine who battles his "inner demons" over what seams to be years in his conscious but is just minutes as he dies on the battle field waiting for medivac. The entertainment value, cinematography, and directing was horrible and pathetic at best. I would not recommend this film to anyone even if I hated them. NO ONE DESERVES THIS PUNISHMENT!!!! The idea has possibility but is at best an idea. I don't think there is any real way to make this movie enjoyable. It is classified as a horror but there is nothing scary horrific about it.
