At a remote estate in upstate New York, newlyweds Leah (Ella Rae Peck) and Shane (Rigo Garay) celebrate their honeymoon, but a pall hangs over their union. She works for the publisher who will be releasing his debut novel, a lightly autobiographical examination of family trauma, alcoholism, and the immigrant experience. Barely suppressed tensions over family trauma would be enough kindling for a blowup, but Leah and Shane's marriage is truly tested by the appearance of two weirdos with entrepreneurial zeal and a half-baked blackmail plot: John (John Speredakos) and Rose (Lorraine Farris). They're looking for investors for John's latest invention, a culinary breakthrough called the Crumb Catcher -- and they won't take no for an answer.

Promising more than it is able to deliver, it’s a case of a genre indie that stops short of becoming a kitschy B Grade classic.

If you can withstand spending nearly two hours in the company of these grating, argumentative characters, there are rewards to be had in a skillfully wrought, twisty suspense tale.

The title of “Crumb Catcher” is all too apt. Skotchdopole sprinkles bits and pieces that add up to very little.

Rated: 2/4

HorrorBuzz

a sleek, well-written, slightly monotone thriller that succeeds on account of overall sharp plot work and a stellar performance by John Speredakos.

Rated: 7

Starburst

Equally, flashes of sharp and taut direction are followed by long moments of nothing very much, leading to a rollercoaster ride where every jump can be seen coming, and every stomach lurch is followed by enough recovery time to forget all about it.

Rated: 3/5

A rambling and muddled attempt to approximate the result had Funny Games director Michael Haneke helmed a remake of Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf?

In a time when so many movies are the same, this one was different. It had a great cast, beautiful camera work, and fantastic pacing. Reminds me of why independent films are so important today!

Sometimes it seems uncertain of just what sort of film it wishes to be, but overall there is an enjoyably dark romp under the thin acting of Garay (especially) and Peck, both of who have been saddled with significantly underwritten characters. If you can deal with how grating the character is, Speredakos' John makes a worthwhile antagonist accompanied by his partner/wife Rose, portrayed by Farris in what is probably the greatest of her ability, given how thinly her character is as well. It could certainly be better developed, but not bad overall.

Rated 3 out of 5 stars

Diet Dr. Paul .

Incredibly unsettling and tense, a movie that constantly keeps you guessing. A genre bender that puts you through an unrelenting evening of torture as a young newlywed couple are extorted by a couple of lunatics. Strap in and enjoy the ride!

Sets are inadequately lit. It's chaotic. It's crumby.
