***Andrew P. Jones also directed Kings of the Evening*** I'd say this film falls solidly into the independent film category. Except, it isn't some horrible found footage movie. It doesn't have that horrid washed out lighting, and doesn't have overly cheesy special effects.
What is does have is a fairly creative mix of film, found/recorded footage, and grainy flashbacks. The photography is well done, the color shifts to suit the mood, and all in all I am impressed with the way this film was crafted.
The start was interesting and creative, but bogged down a little. At one point I found myself a little too reminded of the Ghostfacers from Supernatural, but it quickly passed. The locations are good too, and the acting is solid.
Another thing I was impressed with was how the special effects weren't big budget, but weren't poorly executed either. The director clearly showed some creative restraint. Even the gore isn't gratuitous, but well-placed.
The writing left me with a couple of face-palming why-didn't-you-see-that-coming moments, but not a lot of them...and the film wrapped up nicely at the end. If you are looking for a decent film for a horror night in, this one isn't a bad choice...you could do a lot worse.
