After playing with our expectations, this turns out to be a very different sort of film.

The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

For those of you missed "Misery" we have a watered down version. Alex (Nicholas D'Agosto) is a voyeur and not a very good one. He gets caught by a couple while in their house. They believe Alex is their dead son Timmy who has come back to them as he is held prisoner after his accident. Started out good with Alex approaching Crispin Glover type of creeper. Leighton Meester added a perky klepto character that was for the most part wasted. This is a film that is available on multi-packs which may be the best way to buy this one. Guide: F-word. No sex or nudity.

From the storyline and direction. Kudos. The suspense and mystery was definitely there. I found myself screaming at the television a few times wondering whats to happen next or guessing the finale. I was expecting so many different outcomes and totally didn't expect the ending along with the message on grieving and coping with lost ones. I enjoy a good eerie movie and each character had a unusual presence which kept you wondering who's the crazy one here. Cheryl White (Alice Smith) was awesome. She nailed her role visually and in performance. But overall with a few locations, a small cast, and a small budget. Quite impressive and well thought out, I can't wait to see more of the director's work! A must see if you are into original Suspense/Thriller flicks.

I wrote a review for this movie back in 2006 and apparently it was deleted (hmmm...wonder WHY). Probably because I was the only SANE person who agreed that this movie was a MAJOR stinker. In fact, it still resonates as one of the worst movies I have ever seen at the Florida Film Festival. I go to the FFF many years, and this is one of the worst movies I have ever watched at a festival. It was so bad that my husband and I laughed at how cheesy it was during most of it. AND the audience was pretty much in agreement. At one point when Timmy (or Alex) hold up the sign that says "I am not Timmy" the audience erupted in laughter. I don't think this was supposed to be a comedy, was it? Listen, I am not here to just completely TRASH this movie. I understand this was this director's first movie or whatever, however when I come and read all these positive reviews I am just SHOCKED. Are the folks reviewing this related to the director? If they are, shame on them for not telling him that the movie stunk and should not have been making the rounds at festivals. And it WON an award at some LA film festival? I kid you not my mouth is just hanging wide open in horror right now. I think I have said enough! PS: Sorry to the director, I do not know you and I am sorry that I feel so strongly about your movie. I am sure you are swell guy.

As a first time director and a small budget I wasn't expecting anything amazing. But must I say it was enjoyable and there was some suspense in there. Acting wasn't the best but better than a lot of movies I have seen, it could be do to the fact of who the main four characters are, their personalities were meant to be different. I wasn't happy with the lighting and some of the shots were a bit bland, but overall I think it is a well deserved watch. The story was a great idea, and Leighton Meester character was so cute, you had to smile each time she was on screen.Hopefully he does well in the festival circuit.
