Featured reviews
For a low budget psychological thriller it wasn't bad at all. It's not that I will remember it in the future, but to watch once it's good enough. Especially for the acting of the little girl Eleonore/Ellie played by Savannah Liles. I think she did a good job playing the creepy teenager, not only with her vocabulary but also with her facial expressions. It's a low budget, with only four different places where they shoot the entire movie, and with only a handful of actors, but you didn't need more to bring this story. A story of mind games and a bit of supernatural. Not exceptional but good enough to entertain you during 80 minutes.
Quite a nice movie this was.
Good acting, specially from the main actors. The girl, yes, the more you act cold, the more vulnerable you are inside.
This is a movie without action, pace, change of location, change of story. It's close to Morgan, but does not take its action path.
It could be played in a theatre. It kept me interested from start to end.
Not that it was brilliantly clever, as the girl was, it has its clichés of stereotype characters, but clever enough not try to tackle my intelligence.
So if you are a person of self-inspection, you will enjoy this movie.

Richard neil was excellent.. the rest is hit and miss .... all in all it's worth watching
This was a decent movie. It is only an 80 minute movie and I think that took away from it. There didn't seemed to be enough character development. It just seemed to lack some depth. It was low budget and there were times when the acting clearly indicated that but the little girl did an amazing job. There was only one scene where she seemed to lack authenticity. Maybe I'm not the only one who noticed it.
For low budget this was pretty good. Check it out on a day when you aren't doing anything else and it will pass the time.

This movie was a mixed bag with hokey moments throughout, some of the dialog seemed a little forced and tried a little too hard to be intelligent. A couple characters seemed superfluous and could have been left out entirely. That being said, there are truly beautiful moments in this film. Particularly dealing with trauma and the way we cope, or don't cope with it. Unfortunately, the ending just fell short and although I wanted to cry, it didn't quite come together well enough to allow me the catharsis that came with the conclusion. Overall, this film was engaging, intelligent and at times beautiful. Definitely one of my favourite low-budget films, and everyone involved should be proud of what they've accomplished.
