I read some reviews on scream horror magazine, wicked horror and other horror websites and they were pretty good so I gave it a chance, even though I'm not big fan of Indie Horror's, most of them are pretty crappy. But I was pleasantly surprised, it's defiantly better then most other indie horrors out there. Or even some big budget horror films, being mostly sequels or remakes nowadays, this one is original, different. The international cast is gorgeous, and the characters are not your typical genre characters which was interesting to watch. A ex-soldier, a bisexual player, a ex-porn star, a radical Islamist, and a mute weirdo. The ex-soldier (and main character) was my favorite performance wise (oh yes and he is a very handsome Mexican actor). I also loved the Amira character, without giving away any spoilers, this characters get's it the hard way more then once! it's not too gory but when the gore comes it's almost too much...be warned if you have a weak stomach! And last but not least, awesome soundtrack! I didn't love the editing, I think it could have been wilder, considering the dram/reality, present day/past life theme. Overall, Hollywood should take note, stop spending so much on the same movies and start investing in foreign and/or new artists, not all viewers want to play it safe and watch the same story over and over again.
