I caught this film on Sky Movies. Normally if it's a film I haven't heard of I end up turning it off after 15 minutes. This one had just enough to keep me going at the start and then it became quite an interesting mystery. After half an hour I checked the score on imdb and saw it had a 5.3 rating. That was an indication that the answers to the mystery weren't going to be great. I carried on, preparing to be underwhelmed by the ending. With my expectations lowered I ended up not hating it. I understood the point of it, it's just that I hoped for a bit more.

The acting is good, the soundtrack is great too and for the first hour the film creates a good sense of mystery. It veers between horror, mystery, black comedy, relationship drama and sci fi at times, but ends the ending didn't have the big wow twist I was hoping for, but that's why it had a rating of 5.3. Even so, I'm glad I watched this film. It's better than most of the smaller films that show up on Sky Movies. It's a good example of a film with a small budget and fairly big aspirations. It had a little bit of originality in it, and for that it's worth a look.
