Scanialara You won't be disappointed!

Moustroll Good movie but grossly overrated

Nayan Gough A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.

Dana An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

snakepaws There's a lot that can be said about this film. It's not great, and definitely not without flaws - in some cases, you can poke a hole big enough to sink a small boat. But this is one of the few films that I can honestly say, by the end, I was left reveling in what the filmmakers got RIGHT, that what flaws were noticeable melted into back of my mind. If you want an indie low-budget sci-fi film that doesn't follow the mold, give it a shot. This has the makings of a cult classic. It pays homage to Cronenberg and Lovecraft - not to oversell it, but it's weird and not soon forgettable. You've come this far, so hit the play button.

ethancase An exploration of Western boredom, religion, drugs, and freedom.There is an alien that attempts to make people conform via ritual, there is crime and fitting but arbitrary punishment, and there is exile and death all set in almost post-apocalyptic desert ruination. A little gross, but not too gross. The characters are as unreal as the place and just as disturbing, but they are all honest to the point of hurting through their interpellation, ignorance, and resulting quirks.No tropes or overwritten moments in this one - I never knew what was going to happen next. It's not fun or pretty, but it's obvious that there was a real thinking human who made the movie.

begob Boy and girl fall in love and battle to escape the community that has held them back since birth.Not sure what to make of this. It's definitely weird, but it ain't sci-fi or horror. The other reviewers describe it as Cthulhu, and I'm not a fan of Lovecraft. It's situated in a world of mid-western Christian cult with Body Snatchers paranoia, and there's potential for social metaphor - but meh.It's pretty well shot in a dirt cheap location and the editing is fairly quick. Actors are convincing - apart from Shaun - but I like to figure how each character is essential and this time I couldn't tell. Maybe because the predicament is imposed on them, with the condition of Who Gets Out ALIVE? There is a unique character running around in giant underpants, with a sort of Derek Jarman vibe. But when one wacky dude turns up in a screenplay I'm always on guard for the dwarf from nowhere, wearing Aladdin shoes and gold earrings - or some sh*t like that. In other words, I don't dig bizarre for the sake of it.In the end it does turn conventional, when the lead actor develops a hero's smile and the pickup truck comes to the rescue. Ta da!Music was interesting.

Steneslore I wasn't expecting much from this but was pleasantly surprised, this movie is quite a gem. It's very original and interesting, the pacing is good and the practical effects and CGI are quite competent. Unlike a lot of other indie films in the same budget range it's never boring, and it always shocks and intrigues you into wanting to see what happens next.The characters are very well written and believable. There's a lot of bizarre and frightening things happening, but they seem to accept it all as normal because they don't know any different. They have no understanding of the outside world because they've been isolated and kept ignorant. You actually care what happens to them as their characters develop and they learn horrible truths about their existence.If you like indie sci-fi or horror films you'll probably like this one. It's relentlessly weird and bleak, and it will keep you interested till the end. I will definitely be watching the next film these guys make.
