Well done independent thriller

Being from the same area as the writer/director, I had to checkout his films.

Wasn't sure where this was going. Got to the point quickly, building tension til the end. Thrill factor was there.

Don't over think this, it's great for a low budget, small town guy who has talent.

Enjoy seeing local locations used in films.

This is the 2nd film I've seen. Looking forward to more from Cerrito. Keeping the South Jersey/Philly roots within his films.

This movie makes no sense. At all.

A hapilly married realtor's son is kidnapped. The realtor, our heavily hair-gelled protaginist, sort of reminds me of Lou Reed. Maybe that's why I wasted 45 minutes trying to watch this.

The kidnapping of the kid. By whom? Why? We don't know. Did the parents call the police as an opening scene with a 911 call suggests? Who knows? We're given conflicting information.

Dad is given a ridiculously odd task by the kidnappers: kill six random people of his choosing in an allotted timeframe to get his son back. Huh? Why? But, ok, he's in - because that's what good dads do. Kill other parents of children.

He has an open house at an ugly, dated home and decides to kill people that come to see it. Will he make it?

I had to bail out before he got the six. It was just too bad to watch any longer.

The ending might explain the kidnapping and odd requirement. I'll never know and I'm totally ok with that. Don't waste your time.

Very well done

For an independent film, and reportedly done on only $25,000. This was entertaining. Kept me on edge of seat.
