User Reviews

Interesting and suspenseful

When I saw this movie on the shelves of the rental store, I thought it was going to be a high- budget Hollywood horror flick just from the cover. Fortunately, I was wrong.

'Prism' was both interesting and suspenseful, with rather good acting filling in for a plot that has holes here and there. The director managed to hide the film's low-budget origins rather well during the shooting, re-using sets that looked plausible and doing good work with the clearly minimal funding available. The ending, though slightly confusing, presented a somewhat-satisfying end for the movie. All in all, I'd recommend this film.
