Okay.

Warning: Spoilers
LandLocked is not a great film, but it is decent. LandLocked is not a horror movie!

The story is of some brothers dealing with the loss of their father. The youngest son, Mason, finds the old family videos and a weird camera that allows him to see into the past. The cast seem to be actual family members and the video appears to be old family movies.

Altogether, it is a bit too pretentious and vague. Trying to rely too much on metaphors and symbolism that will fly right over most viewer's heads, as it did mine.

So what happened in LandLocked? Spoilers here. My theories ranged from aliens (the lights in the sky), Mason already being dead (the red tape has a date of 3 days after he was born), to the family covering up something (perhaps Mason's accidental death). None of these ideas appear to be correct. In fact, it looks like they were trying to point out that living in the past at the expense of living your life is a bad idea... which was not in the least bit obvious to me.
