Warning: Spoilers
Anna Parker (Kate French) is a blogger who desires to be screen play writer. She likes her booze and pills. She takes her pills, has bad dreams, and then takes another pill. Her boyfriend and agent Paul (Steven Brand) decides she needs to rewrite her draft and takes her away to the glass house in Joshua Tree, in what seems to be the new filming spot for films. While there, she meets the neighbor Jeremy (Steve Hanks) who lives nearby in a trailer. Anna's episodes escalate as things get weirder and secrets unveiled.

The film was rather boring as a horror thriller. The escalation of events didn't seem to be well thought out and didn't create the scare factor. At one point the sound track hinted at Native American drums, indicating the disruption of a sacred Indian burial site. But that was not the case. Sound tracks are suppose to enhance clues, not be red herrings. Of course during the whole thing you don't know how much of the story was real or Anna's imagination. In fact PLOT SPOILER we still don't know at the end. Perhaps that is the "clever" feature of the film is that it offers no closure.

Rental at best.
