Viewing Notes

Further proof I’ll watch anything… picked this off Amazon Instant bc it looked interesting. Well, I suppose it is in that low budget, DIY kinda way. I like the premise but it really would be more suited towards a short film around 30 minutes or so rather than a stretched feature. I say “stretched” bc there’s like 10 minutes of epilogue nonsense tacked on the end to reach feature length. After the credits, mind you.

Wish there was a better way to create a “retro” look rather than running a grainy filter over the digital capture. It just makes it look cheaper than it already is. At least everyone is committed and makes this watchable (for me anyways).
