Storyline

Tyler Clarke is on the red-eye to New York City. Two days ago she received a cryptic voice-mail from her sister Jessica. She was asking for help but she didn't say why. And now that Tyler has come to the city to help her, Jessica is nowhere to be found. In order to find out what has happened, Tyler must delve into a world of darkness and lies, the underbelly of a spiritually depraved community living in a deconsecrated cathedral. They call themselves "The Collective." And Jessica is one of them. Tyler is forced to ask the ultimate question, is she ready to risk her own life to save her sister's?

User Reviews

Pretty good, despite the fact it reeks of low budget.

The direction and editing of this movie is really good. The acting is varying from OK to really good (the "Conor"-character being one of the top performed). I can't really put my finger on why exactly it looks so low budget because nothing stands out as lacking in that regard so I'm guessing it's pertaining to the equipment used.

So I look forward to see future productions from the same director and producer.

The biggest problem with the movie is the plot. It's OK, but it's not very original and without giving any specifics away, it has moments that feels kinda .. silly.. And I thought it totally lacked a sense of suspense. But that's just personal taste I suppose. If you like mystery-type thrillers you can give this movie a shot. It's solid work behind it and probably delivers what you would expect from a low budget movie in this genre.

(I don't know if it _is_ a low budget movie but it certainly has that feel to it.)
