This is a low budget sci-fi thriller. Sam (Drew Fonteiro) is an EMT who drives around with Jay (Marc Menchaca). They both have mental issues. Jay pops pills to stay sane. Sam has issues with his sister Sara (Frankie Hinton) who died when they were young. He suffers from blackouts where he can't remember what he did. The film starts out with a first-person point of view, which quickly changes. This is a clue as the film is filled with clues.

The film description and title give away what happens as Sam's mind goes to another person's body when he dies. Unfortunately, he is too stupid to say the right thing to keep from getting killed again and again.

Guide: F-word. Implied sex. Near nudity.

I like slow burns. Movies that make you think. Twists. Supernatural. Low budget is fine.

The main character is unlikeable. He's not compelling. He walks around looking stupid. He's not attractive, the girl isn't either. Zero chemistry.

The only one with any acting chops was the best friend with the mental illness.

I wanted ALL of them to die already. I only made it through this garbage because I played with my phone the entire time.

And, no, staring at the screen wouldn't have helped.

No subtly, bad acting, annoying direction. People have to care about the actors. If there's a love connection, there needs to be chemistry.

Somewhat interesting premise, in spite of the plot holes. Otherwise it had nothing going for it.

I hated all the main characters, and hoped they would all be dead by the end.

The angry abusive husband whose solution to everything is to kill people.

The main character who doesn't care about anything but himself - the summary makes it seem like he's trying to protect his friends but he's not. If he had just dropped it and left them alone they would have been fine. His own insanity caused most of the issues in the movie. I hated him at least as much as the abusive husband.

And then there's the love interest, who is cheating on her husband while he's deployed in the military, then when he comes home she wants to drop the affair and pretend it never happened. I didn't totally hate her, but I didn't like her at all. If she hadn't cheated on her husband and then tried to cover it up, none of the story would have happened.

The sister and her husband were the nicest people in the story, and they're just side characters who get screwed because they're friends (and relatives) of twisted, messed-up people.

Not enjoyable to watch in any way.

The 'twist' at the end is what elevates it from a 6 to an 8 or 9 for me. "Fallen" starring Denzel Washington has explored consciousness switching bodies, for instance. In that case, the evildoer doing the hopping instead of the victim in this film. The therapist in the flashbacks kept asking him who he was. He must have been telling his parents for months that he was "Sara" so they had him in therapy.

So Sam died in the lake many years earlier. Sam's body has been inhabited by his sister Sara since the moment of the death of her physical body. Years of therapy caused him to suppress that memory of his/her/their identity. It turns what could have been a 'by the numbers' supernatural revenge thriller into something a little deeper.

Sam, ultimately, kept his promise to his sister. He sacrificed his 'life' so she could live. "The gun to your head" is a metaphor. It's facing death in any number of circumstances including drowning when you find out what you're really made of. So it's really two movies. It's "Three Faces of Eve" meets "Ghost" but it's not quite as good as either of those movies.

The comparison to "Moonlight" are odd. I don't see any similarities in any of the characters or the genre or plot.

At first the story goes slowly and during the movie keeps this pace, but after past half getting interesting about soul that attached to this world and due to what happened in past and made a deal with his sister he can not leave this world till protects the ones he loves. from my point of view the story is strong with good characters , players and acceptable visual effects. I recommend to those who enjoy watching supernatural and mystery movies.

Despite some reviews here the body-jumping concept isn't new or original. Nor does the movie do anything interesting with it. The main character spends his time making a bad situation worse as he body-hops. It's hard to feel bad for him because he's the one that created the bad situation in the first place. One scene in particular is unintentionally funny. Unaware of what's happening characters get confused about who is having an affair with who. It suggests that this movie would have worked better as a comedy.

Most well put together waste of time i've seen in awhile. So what happens to the real ppl when he takes over their body and gets them killed? It was selfish, and the fact that he kept talking in 1st person about himself in other people's body's was really stupid. Confessing your love in a woman's body or in another man's body, so stupid. Acting was decent.

No i mean really come on. The film is strangely good, it keeps you thrilling you want to see what happens next you want to know more, you become Sam.

The Sound is well chosen, the filming is on point i searously don't see a Problem with too less Budget at all. I mean i am mad serious what are the people thinking now a days ?

*Spoiler part* The timing and Time usage is literally a masterpiece, it's started smooth and slow you get interessted in Sams life in Sams feeling you feel sorry for him not beeing openly together with Mia. And you start to get nervous bout that military Boyfriend. At the beginning you think he lost his sister while he still was young, bad thing i guess but nothing more , nothing really special about it. But the moment Bear showed Sam the video on the camera wher he told them he killed his Sister it starts to get thrilling really thrilling indeed. The next amazing thing in this movie is the way of story telling and the way after Sam dies his mind goes to one of his friends to reveal the excret of whom killed him. I really enjoyed this way of storytelling the way the story unfolds. i want to see more. It's a movie that makes you feel about death and life and accidents and things that form and shape your life. Even the one little Moment where you glance a thought that maybe Sam is Sara because as a kid he pretendet to be like her. I mean of course he was a kid and probably he just wanted his sister back but we still can imaginge that maybe a piece of sara became to Sam. I mean i think that's what the storyteller wanted to tell us that there is the possibillty and that i may be but it's not defined wheter Sam is Sara or was Sara or is just Sam.

But to come to an conclusion; It's an interessting film in an i guess unshown storytype with good sound nice fluid way of telling a story, never being to boring or to long/slow, and even the actors did a great job. I wouldn't change a thing.

And to conclude the thing with Budget, less Budget = you have to be more creative so less Budget is no not equal to a bad movie. It's more like all those spoiled movie watchers who think a movie should cost much and should have amazing effects and stuff. it's the same with everything now a days more and more never enough.
