Woohoo! First review! Probably because nobody else wanted to bother to review this thing.
Look, I really try to give films a chance. Everything from fan films to cerebral art films, bring 'em on. But there are some films (like this one) that a person can tell within the first ten minutes is just not worth spending precious moments from one's limited lifespan.
Poor lighting, poor filming, amateur acting. Without researching, I'd guess this is a college film project, most likely by 1st-year students... or a family film production, as some of the cast members appear to be related. The website indicates it's produced by a startup film company that appears to be almost begging for people to participate in future projects. That is believable.
No offense to anyone, but even fan films need to live up to a certain level of quality. Or not. There are no rules for fan films except to find a chunk of the audience that appreciates what's been done. At this time there are 53 ratings, with an average rating of 3.3 and 77% of the audience giving it 3 stars or less (43% giving it 1 star). I have a feeling this film is going to have a very difficult time finding their niche audience.
Rule of film-making: First 15 minutes... capture audience attention or nose dive. This one nose dives. Few are going to hang around to "see if it gets any better".
