V.A. Musetto New York Post You just know something terrible is going to happen. But when it does, you're entirely unprepared. Rated: 3/4 Jun 6, 2002 Full Review Lawrence Van Gelder New York Times It establishes its ominous mood and tension swiftly, and if the suspense never rises to a higher level, it is nevertheless maintained throughout. Rated: 3.5/5 Jun 5, 2002 Full Review Leslie Camhi Village Voice The filmmakers skillfully evoke the sense of menace that nature holds for many urban dwellers. Jun 4, 2002 Full Review Film Threat Rated: 2.5/5 Dec 6, 2005 Full Review Christopher Null Filmcritic.com extremely well told (even without a script) and heart-rendingly acted (even though its leads are all complete unknowns) Rated: 4/5 Sep 3, 2003 Full Review Dennis Schwartz Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews How good this film might be, depends if you believe that the shocking conclusion is too much of a plunge or not.

Audience Member Don't even bother watching this movie as it comes out of the box, imedatly turn the comentary on unless you got this to help you sleep. The script is all just ideas the director thought up before he asked some random guys off the street to act in it. I have made better, more in depth films with me and my brother goofing around. There is no reason this should have gotten anything more than a grade in a high school filmaking class, but to have actually won something in a real live film festival is outrageous. The camerawork makes Blair Witch feel like it was on a tripod, there was absolutely no directing (ask the director he will tell you), the plot just kind of happened, you can hear the 2 directors ask eachother why they left sceens in and neither knew why. The actors were the only reason this film was any way successful, and they were not the one winning awards. They had to make up their own script, they had to use their own personal stories to use in the film, nothing that they did should be credited to the filmmakers other than finding these guys. The directors basicaly just said, OK, here is kind of an idea, do something with it, then they set a camera on a trained dog's head and let the actors do what ever they wanted as the directors went to go drink coffee at the local Starbucks to talk about how artistic and edgy their film will turn out if they make a ton of nonsensical cuts. Bah, if I didn't watch this for free from my school's library, I would be asking for my $$ back. I might have a shot at suing the directors for the time I spent watching it, but I am an insomniac and needed something to do while I was trying to sleep, and this was a good movie for helping my sleep disorder. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 01/17/23 Full Review Audience Member (** 1/2): Thumbs Down I liked the attempt but the film was just too boring at times. A near-miss. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/18/23 Full Review Audience Member Well told (even without a script) and heart-rendingly acted (even though its leads are all complete unknowns), but how good this film might be, depends if you believe that the shocking conclusion is too much of a plunge or not.
