Featured review
Commander Riker heads an unknown cast in this beautifully shot sci-fi thriller
I'm not going to spell out the synopsis since it's been done before. This seemingly low budget thriller does a fine job putting all the pieces together. The acting, for the most part is adequate. The fx are a lot better than what I've seen in films with a much bigger budget.
The director (Clay Staub) does a great job of hiding the monster until it couldn't be hidden any longer.
With the exception of some CGI you never get the feeling that this is a cheap and cheesy student film.
But by far the crowning glory of the whole project is the brilliant cinematography. Miroslaw Baszak does an excellent job of capturing the bleak and dreary landscape to the point that you don't want to visit the area, let alone live there. His interior shots are perfectly lit, giving the desired creepy-old-house affect while still allowing us to see what's going on.
Editing, sound design and the score all complement the film so seamlessly that you never think about them - you experience them.
The story is nothing new. (But what is these days?) It combines elements of several other stories we've all seen before. Which isn't to say that it's bad, it's just not ground breaking.
All in all the completed project is something that all cast & crew involced should be proud to have been a part of.
