I only heard about this indie film a little while ago, but I decided to give it a go, because it looked pretty good. What I got was an intense thriller with some memorable scenes, but overall was missing something. As I said, the film is very intense and thrilling. Many scenes had me on the edge of my seat because the tension was quite high. This is probably one the films best aspects. I also really enjoyed the blood and gore effects in this movie too. I always love seeing realistic blood and gore, and this movie really delivered it, and I believe that is something of note. The performance from the main character is quite interesting. I think most people will either love it or hate it. I found myself somewhere in the middle. It felt lacking but almost captivating in his usually emotionless reactions. The reason why I didn't rate it high was, well, I felt like there wasn't enough for it to be really memorable. Sure, there we're memorable scenes, but over all i'm not sure if I will be thinking about it months from now. Either way i'm glad I watched it. Overall, I think the film deserves a watch, and those who enjoy indie thrillers will love this.
