Didn't do it for me

If you read the reviews on IMDB this is a quirky, Hitchcockesque 'thriller' that is 'Dark, claustrophobic, and downright creepy'. Dark and claustrophobic it most definitely is but the thriller bit must have passed over my head. I watch a lot of films that leave me scratching my head & wondering what on earth was going on, that's not the problem, the frustrating bit was not caring what was going on and just being glad that it had ended.

It didn't do it for me and won't be to everyone's taste. Oh, and don't be mislead by the fact that it's written and directed by Alex Winter of Bill & Ted fame. I added this to my list after watching another of his films, 'Freaked' (worth a watch if you like odd, dark 'comedies'), but there is no comparison in terms of style or content. All credit to Alex for his versatility though.

Not quite sure how this ended up on my recommendations list. I was bored within minutes. Not good. Probably avoid if you can.
