Note to the writers: Just because a movie is a mystery doesn't mean everything in it has to be.

...a misguided and thoroughly pointless piece of work.

one long, slow buildup to a surprise ending that conceals two or three twisting secrets while still remaining elusive and open to interpretation.

Rated: 3/5

FEARnet

A surprisingly engrossing two-person character study that (gradually) reveals something quite a bit darker beneath the surface.

Rated: 4/5

It's an obvious, overlong, determined misfire of a motion picture...ambitious, but it's also fatally flawed.

Rated: D

Is a much different film than "Hatchet." It's focused, it's low key, it's original, and it really takes its plot seriously...

Rated: 3.5/4

The neat direction, editing and photography are not enough to save Spiral from predictability and flatness.

Well acted, rather fascinating psycho-drama that makes you feel sorry for the the perpetrator as well as the victim.
