I loved it!

I was able to see this film on its premiere at the Phoenix Comicon and let me tell you I was stunned, especially when I saw the budget. Throughout the movie I was captivated, always anticipating what was going to happen next. There was no shortage of characters as they kept popping up through the film.The acting was also very solid. There was no sense that they were trying to hard like most B actors do. As the film carried through to the end I understood why the writer was raising so many questions because a sequel will be soon to follow -at least that's what I am hoping for. I have seen many nano-budget films and have always been let down until now. I definitely recommend this flick because at the end of the day its really good.
