I liked this movie a lot. The negative reviews worried me but I felt the movie was intriguing and interesting (though oftentimes stressful) and beautifully directed. A unique psychological thriller (I really can't classify this as horror) that didn't rely on jump scares or cheap CGI. The ending was far better than I anticipated given the reviews and I didn't feel like it betrayed the story or curiosity a bit. I would recommend watching it.

A visually stimulating film that falls short on substance and story. Dane gives a strong performance which definitely helps because the movie clocks in at 2 and a half plus hours. In my opinion it dragged on a little bit too long. Strong visuals good cinematography in this film. But a very substandard storyline which they tried to make deeper and more mysterious than it was. This film definitely is not for the average film viewer. But the more Art House David Lynch crowd will most likely diggit. Good eye candy shallow story. Plus it rips off a lot of elements of the film Upstream Color.

The story is sub par and leaves me questioning if the writers kinda gave up along the way... it has quality with some disturbing moments that were enjoyable. The production isn't bad, acted well, visual pleasing. It's worth renting certainly
