A hidden gem

This is a movie that deserves more recognition; well written, acted and presented, this quirky little film stands out. Bruce Campbell drops the cheese for a moment and demonstrates that he can in fact act. I'm a big fan and I have to admit it was great to see that the man has built a career on hammy low budget flicks The 'one shot' filming is pulled off very well and adds a sense of urgency. In fact, it's quite fun trying to spot the cuts! The black and white managed to add rather than detract unlike many other indie movies.

Sure, it's not perfect and some of the characters could have benefited from a little further rounding - more than a few actions and moments didn't quite ring true. The plot wasn't the most unpredictable. However, overall the positives far outweigh any slight gripes. This movie was thoroughly enjoyable; an absolute pleasure to watch.
