This is not a terrible movie for a first timer with such a small budget (only $120), however it has the notable threadbare script and tiny budget that Skylar has become known for but without the humor, seriously over the top acting, or over the top plotline that his hit show Bad Game Sunday has become known for. Skylar toned several of his own trademarks (goofy acting, insane plots, comically bad villains, dry humor) instead he aimed for a drama with a basis on the videogame "The Crooked Man" with another intent on delivering a real story that movies could bring that were based on videogames. While he succeeds in creating a heartfelt backstory (The David video diary miniseries is somewhat imperative to understanding the film's plot) with a character we can care about, he misses the mark on creating the core of the story presented in the film, the camera work was also uneven more than likely due to Sam being in control of the camera during certain parts and Katie during others. Where the film does shine is it's acting, special effects, Katie's direction and lighting while Skylar has never been known to be the best actor it's very clear he gave 120% here. Katie's camera work and direction is remarkable, despite the limited space she manages to deliver (the scene of finding the piece of paper under the sink is probably the most well done shot in the film). The lighting also should be praised Skylar stated that the lighting was 100% natural meaning every single scene was lit without any C-stands or studio lights, it gives a very natural look. Lastly the special effects are pretty good, while the black eyes do sort of break the greenscreened mirror scene and reveal of the Crooked Man's hollowed out eyes is by far some of the best, the splitscreen shot is also done incredibly well. Overall its mostly average and for a first timer's film it's not too bad.
