This indie film makes the most of a low budget. The direct has a good eye, managing to get some truly beautiful shots onscreen (including an early dream sequence filled with colors that are incredible to behold). The cast is all competent, with some of course standing out more than others.
Early on the film briefly flirts with the "found footage" genre, but discards this idea pretty quickly. I can't help but wonder if this was intended as an homage or a mockery of the genre.
All in all, the film was a fun watch, especially for someone like myself who's not normally a fan of the horror genre. It's not quite parody, but definitely very self-aware about genre tropes and cliches.
