The $5.99 I spent on this movie forced me to watch past the 20th minute, ULTRA regretfully. 50 minutes in and I just want to follow the example of the protagonist's mom here and find the nearest noose. First off, I came from a small town; people I knew died, were murdered AND killed themselves. Yet NOBODY was ever as depressed and miserable and bored as literally every single character in this film. The murdered girls are the real heroes of this movie if you ask me! Or at least they provide the viewer with the most hope of getting OUT of this experience. They lead by example by disappearing altogether, and 75 minutes in I am now fully willing to follow them into a dark, watery grave somewhere in Georgia. Secondly, is it really that painful for the creators of this incoherent sludge to actually EXPLAIN any part of what's going on here? Must they make every scene twice as confusing and pointless as the previous? We're not talking Memento here, or Donnie Darko; there's nothing smart or entertaining with this movie, especially 100 minutes in! Did even one actor have the slightest clue about the script they were reading? Did the Director? What's happening here? Is this a nightmare? Have I been drugged? Who am I? What are you? When is this? And finally, how for why at where now?
