I watched this film today to check it since there were several splices in it, and was rather hard to see frame lines on. I was fortunate. No mis-framed splices.

I never thought I could like a film like this. If you have problems with enclosed spaces, you might cringe when you see this.

I won't give away the story. I am amazed at how long a cell phone battery, and a Zippo lighter will last in this film. Also, where did a certain reptile come from with all the flailing around that the main charactor was doing?

I'll give it a 3/5 rating.

SPOILER ALERT SPOILER ALERT

I saw this movie tonight.

Really, really, really good movie with a horrible, really bad final last 30 seconds which ruined the ending.

It is interesting to see a movie with one actor, one set. Also, the guys on the other end of the phone leaves a lot for the imagination as they are not shown.

Like I said, really good movie. Final 30 seconds was the wrong way to end it.

Director also made a bad choice of closing credit music. Ruined the dark ending by having ubeat music. Credit music should of been the films score.

* (out of 4)...would of been higher but the final 30 killed it.

I wasn't too impressed with the ending either. I agree with you about the upbeat credit music ruining the sadness that I was feeling at the end.

At least my light cue kept the lights down until the upbeat music got started. That was luck.
