Let me just say that the reviewer from Filmschool dropouts got everything right — including the comparison to the much better _Intruders_, except that he really wasn't harsh enough. This is a godawful, stupid, predictable movie with a fake ending that tries to echo _Saw_'s twist, except that in _Saw_ we actually are given a new perspective through which to see everything and make sense of it all while here we are given exactly what we already knew with a lot of pointless montage and hyped up music. (After the fake ending, there's a real one which isn't any better or more thrilling.) If you can't tell who the killer is the first time you see him, then you're just the sort of clueless idiot the director is hoping will watch this film, because it couldn't possibly interest anyone with half a brain. Why did anyone green light this project and give this kind the money to make a film with pretty decent production values — whose bud, son in law, or nephew is this guy? But I really do blame myself; I should have known from the opening scene how bad this flick is — a woman is murdered with a plastic bag and though she is still alive and kicking for several minutes, it doesn't occur to her to just tear a hole in the plastic right where it is stretched across her gaping mouth. Like I said, stupid. It's too bad because there are some great shots of the incessant Portland rain--nice atmosphere but zero suspense, and zero for original plotting.
