Mixed bag that could have been something

Mixed bag that could have been something. The lack of budget really hurts this one.

It has a strong script - much stronger than most of these kinds of films. It's very similar to Lado's earlier Night Train Murders only not as good. The first third of the film is terribly slow and marred by some god awful acting.

The middle of the film is the absolute strongest section - filled with real tension and suspense of a deadly cat and mouse game. It reminded me of Michael Haneke's Funny Games.

The ending was pretty standard stuff - nothing memorable there. But again, the script was quite strong, and the middle of the film really shined. I believe that with a bigger budget and better actors I would have really enjoyed this one. As is, you're better off skipping this.
