Act 1 - 5.5
Act 2 - 6.6
Act 3 - 7.5
A film about the grieving process masked as a post apocalyptic sci-fi movie
Aubrey also has to learn to forgive herself and move past her own wrong doings
Film is very metaphorical and uses that to its advantage
Films biggest problem is hooking you on a ridiculous idea to start and suffers for that but once you hit the second act the film opens up and and start to understand it more and get what the director is trying to show us
Needing is quite beautiful and comes to a nice conclusion of letting go
Score and soundtrack are really good
Virginia Gardner is good in her role as the grieving Aubrey, see her go through the process of letting herself be free
A very indie style film that works for the story they are telling
A film I would recommend to small indie fans who want a strong message in a solid film once it finds its way through the first act
Aubrey lost her best friend Grace
In mourning she goes and stays at Grace's apartment
Keep getting flashbacks to the beach and a shots of a man
In the morning power is out and smoke in the distance
Buildings are destroyed and nobody in sight in the the town
Aubrey sees a large black alien looking creature that come after her
Someone gives her directions on the walkie talkie, knew Grace, helps her get away from the creature with a signal
This guy seems to already know everything that is going on and it's been hours, dumb
Apparently Grace found something and knew about all of this
Transmissions brought on natural disasters, Grace discovered this for some reason, ridiculous
People are after these transmissions, Grace hid the tapes for safety as they are more powerful together
Signals open doorways that the creatures came through
The man on the radio wants Aubreys help to stop it
Really creepy scene with creature on top of her in a possible nightmare
Aubrey listens to Grace's mixtapes that she left around the house for her, hoping she can help save the world and find the 7th signal
Also helps Aubrey hear her friend again and cope with her loss
Aubrey decides to go find the rest of the tapes that Grace his in their favorite spots around town
Soundtrack is really good and fits Aubreys vibe
Score is solid too in the intimate scenes
CGI isn't the best in its limited use as it's a very low budget film
Animated segment of film is interesting and works really well and looks cool
Aubrey gets to reminisce in each of their favorite places but is always disturbed in her rest by one thing or another
Aubrey gets to have a conversation with Grace, in her head, really good scene about her mindset and gives us some answers
Starfish in the tank at Graces and a production slate wit Starfish on it
Finally revealed that the man without a face probably killed himself after Aubrey cheated on him with a guy at the beach, this is what she has to find forgiveness for
The monsters are the metaphorical personal demons she must overcome
Aubrey gets all of the signals and brings them to the radio station where the 7th is and plays the mixtape that will save the world
Gets contact with someone on the radio and tells them what she did trying to save the world and notice letters of the tape spell forgive and forget
Man tells Aubrey that she opened all of the doors and didn't actually close them and walks away
Aubrey walks to a giant orb she helped create, she let them in
Aubrey walks into this orb and just fella the situation, feels she can finally let go of what she has done and forgive herself, see her relationship with the man
Beautiful scene with great score in this moment of freedom of pain and loss
Ending is very strong
