First off congratulations to Mr. Hunt and crew for getting this film made. From here it is all downhill, far, far downhill. The beginning of the movie seems legit for about a minute. Then you realize it is suppose to be a movie of coarse you immediately realize this when you get out of the credit intro thing. The dialog pulls you out of the film every time an actor opens their mouth. This was due to both the simple, childlike, to the point (but not really saying anything) writing of the film and the actors and actresses are inexperienced and plain bad. The acting could have been better if half the dialog was removed, take away the attempt at "fun banter" between leads and a little spent on directing the actors. However the bad writing, directing and acting still leaves room for much criticism. The quality is pour (understandably so) but shouldn't affect the ability to drive emotions into an audience. The films composition was very poor and not even considered for a huge majority of the film. With the exception of the silhouetted evil mad i don't believe composition was considered once. There was never a strong foreground mid ground and background. Blocking was stale and uninteresting. Lighting or absolute lack there of left over exposed shots and gave misrepresented shading throughout the film. It seems this movie was shot on a run and gun basis. Put it there so we can see her do this, move over there so we can watch her walk here. No shots served a purpose. Aside from the bad general filming, bad writing, bad directing and bad acting there is.... wait, the story. Okay, firstly yes there is a intriguing tiny particle of a heart grasping story seed here. However that is all there is an idea for a good idea. its not even a fully worked idea. The story does not portray what it wants to and should have been roughly 30 minutes long in all reality. When you stretch a 30 minute story into a little over an hour its extremely boring. Not to mention what was the deal with two guys in the diner? out of place inappropriate semi funny but totally distracting and just down right "well that was stupid" makes the story even worse. Two time periods bouncing back and fourth throughout the film i guess is a twit surprise. Also the whole spiral into drugs and out of desperation giving your daughter up to be raped was just not good enough. Let me put it this way, The lady who is suppose to be a huge drug addict and so desperate for drugs that she gives up her daughter wouldn't even blow a guy for drugs. Wait.... So you won't give a guy head but you will let a guy rape your daughter. This movie was poorly done. If i could watch the film again i would a thousand more complaints. This film misses on the lowest levels of film making and deserves no recognition. I urge anyone that sees a rating of 8 on IMDb to think about the people who rated it most likely the people who are in the movie and their family members. This is a fail on every level. Oh almost forgot editing, awkward edits from extreme fly on the wall shots and not the ones in the bedroom but all throughout the film were jarring. several jump cuts were jarring and not even needed about 20 minted of the film plays twice which adds to the it should only be a 30 minute film. Ugh i can't stop raving so just don't bother with this movie it will infuriate anyone that actually sees it for what it is a local film that should stay local with no talent and bad everything else. Don't Bother With This Film. give your money to really bad films like "The Invoking" that is somehow way better than this film........
