I understand that this is a low-budget horror and as such my expectations were suitably low. Sadly, this film failed to live up to even those, for instance:
1. Actors should be able to act. Sorry guys, but the acting in this film is bad. Stilted, lifeless and not helped by extremely mediocre writing.
2. Dialogue should be audible. Most of the time the soundtrack is too loud and the dialogue too quiet to be able to hear what's going on.
3. Show, don't tell. A quick flashback covers a whole load of story more satisfactorily than the super-long, whispered monologue given to one character.
4. Short duration = don't waste time! At about 1hr 20, this is a short film by today's standards and it wastes far too much precious time in the first half with meaningless driving scenes, a scene in the woods, long pauses etc etc. This time would have been welcome in later stages explaining what the heck is going on.
5. Short duration = trim story! Too much stuff is shoehorned in at the end as some sort of 'reveal' when it had never even been mentioned before. Reduce complexity and spread the story out more.
As others have mentioned, the effects are not great either but I'm fine with that.
