Ratings and reviews

It took a while to get moving and I almost gave up on it. But, once I figured out the symbolism being used to try and show the problems of dealing with PTSD, I was very impressed. There were times when I wondered if he was hallucinating or grounded in reality. It's the type of film that requires thinking, so if watching it for mindless entertainment, find something else.

There aren't many things more frightening than a home invasion. The memory of unwelcome intruders can stick with a person for a very long time. When you combine that with a man's fragmented mind you're in for surprises. The Cain Complex dives into the lives of a family on the brink as the main character tries to keep himself together. The filmmakers created an interesting mix of tense thriller and action film. If you're a fan of indie films you should definitely give this one a watch. As I write this Halloween fast approaches. It's the perfect time of year for creepy films. Give it a go and see what you think.

This movie makes absolutely no sence. Worst acting and overall worst motion picture experience i have ever had. Waste of time. Id rather swollen a fork while watching twilight than have to watch it again. But don't believe me, watch for your self. Enjoy!
