Title: A horrible way to die is a horrible way to make a movie.
Review: The writer, Simon Barrett, wrote a commendable and very interesting story which the director/editor, Adam Windgard, completely butchered with the help of the photgraphers, Chris Hilleke and Mark Shalhorse.The cut from one scene to the next over used black screens of varing lengths which made you feel like they were cutting to a commercial. The POV for many of the takes were ill chosen and lacked the kind of professional continuity expected for a filmm transferred to Blu-Ray.The photographers probably never heard of a Steady-Cam as the screen bobbed continueslly up and down and from side to side. If they think this was a hip technique it was tried years ago and was amateurish then.The acting was for the most part was excellent especially Amy Seimetz and A.J. Bowen both of which were convincing.In summary, I would advise you to save your money as there are many fine examples of this genre out there.
