I can only imagine if this movie made by some big kahunas, then, should turn out to be a hit. Not because of just having an interesting storyline but it carries on and implemented plots logically from scene to scene, specially going back and forth from present to flashback and such. This must be involved in writing and directing as they seem planned coherently well. Besides of nice camera work and editing, all the characters are portrayed by those who have not yet made their names big, the film still has great power to draw you in, keeping you captivated from head to toe. Maybe there is a little moment of awkwardness, but their overall performance is pretty convincible. As a matter of fact, I consider the casting is quite fit if you don't care about the names and fame. Let me give you a little hint, but not a whole lot to spoiler: An old man dies. His adopted daughter is gone missing before he dies. 10 years after, relatives called up for will reading in the reclusive cabin, but his daughter doesn't show up - this may be expected. The attendees take a ballot to vote and all agree the daughter is dead already so they can move on for the will reading in hope each one of them would get a piece of pie. But why they all wish her die? Is that because of the money alone or is her killer among them? Surprisedly, that's not all. Her death may be expected, but a shocking surprise is something else. Usually suspense movie is a tough nut, specially the ending - it's too easy to be screwed. I hate to watch a movie with a promised beginning but fails me with the bad ending. But this movie's ending is just right.
