Greetings (2007)
5/10
Odd little low budget effort
20 November 2010
What an unusual film. Just ran across it on a free movie site at the recommendation of a friend. I'm usually not one for the mega-low budget indy film but this one was sufficiently compelling to keep me at least moderately interested. Although I was tempted to hit the FF button once or twice, I didn't. The film takes kind of a long time getting started and although doesn't have a lot of gore or other major CGI or wirework stunts (It takes place completely within a small apartment) there is a neat and increasingly menacing atmosphere built by the filmmaker. Like I said, an odd little film but I liked it.

My big complaint with this film is the very poorly-recorded dialog. The cast were speaking fairly fast and naturally and it being a British film, with a distinct British accent. To this American, the muddled dialog track made it impossible for me to make out about 30% of what was said.

Meh. Not terrible not incredible. Not bad. I don't regret the 71 minutes I spent on it. 45/100
