I was more impressed when I saw how few people there were in the credits. That's a sign of independent film and those are usually good. I'm not really sure what to say about how good this film was, because it's not really my style, but I was entertained enough at times. Something about eh way it ended seemed less than satisfying but the circumstances of April's situation were explained. I'm not sure what Brian's contribution was.
I wouldn't say the acting was outstanding but it was good enough. If you're looking for creepy this film delivers. There is some mystery as you wonder why April is being treated like a criminal, even though she's clearly the victim of something. We don't see her tell her story to the cop or whatever he is, but we see flashbacks showing what she experienced.
April's dreams reminded me of the movie "The Parallax View" where people watched videos that resembled those dreams. These were intended to brainwash. In this case, everything was blue except a red blanket, and editing was very quick. Most of the video was shots of New York City, and there were words on screens apparently intended to form a message.
There was a also a dark green flashback to New Year's eve but I didn't understand the purpose other than to show April was unhappy and drinking.
I am confused about one thing. Who gave this film a V-chip rating? While TV-14 was clearly correct, there was no sex. Why wasn't there a V for violence? A couple of scenes do get quite bloody.
And as far as attention to detail goes, a newspaper story explaining the movie's events at the end has misspelled words.
I've seen better, but I'll give the few people who made this movie credit for accomplishing a lot.
