I'll admit, I have a thing for low budget horror films. But I don't review all of them, just the ones that impressed me. This one definitely falls in that category.
Here's a few reasons:
1) It's less about gore (although there is some) and more about human behavior. It's an incredibly psychological film that really makes you wonder "what would I do in this situation?" and, possibly, leave you surprised at your answer. Not what I was expecting, but definitely kept me watching.
2) The acting was pretty good. So many of the low-budget movies get stuck with a good story but wooden acting--not this one.
3) The story. They actually give you a solid background for what's going on and it never felt too rushed or too slow.
This isn't the goriest or grossest I've seen, but you still might want to leave your stomach at the door. If you're into dark, scary movies about human depravity, this one's for you. I found it entirely fascinating.
