Two viewpoints:
First, a whole lot of poor acting & production. But I enjoyed how much the main actor Justin looks like Micheal Keaton, right?
Anyway - I allow that MAYBE the acting was actually good BECAUSE of being so flat, since they were all drugged into submission? I'm only half way thru this so who knows if it will improve.
Terrible sound quality & the dialogue is really weak. The exterior views of the homes were so obviously small models.
I appreciate that the blue filter & black & white wardrobe & lack of colour & scenery were meant to illustrate the haze of dullness & control. I think the director wanted you to feel the oppression & control the characters endure.
My second view - while I can see where this is a very poorly made movie in so many ways - it pretty much illustrates how culture is currently trying to control parents & influence & kids, & people are almost in a zombie-like state - going to work, trying to seem fulfilled while basically letting schools, Netflix, & the internet indoctrinate their kids all while government is passing more & more laws & amendments to gain more & more control in every particular of our lives.
When ya look at it like THAT . . . . it's almost like the director has a secret message in there telling you to wake up to reality . . .
Stumbled on this B movie in a bogo deal so glad I didn't pay much for it!
