follow the adventure as three friends, become overcome with being subdued by the mysteries of the forest, where legends can become reality.

This is a light comedy good for casual viewing.  I picked it up on suggestion from a friend.  My cost to buy was about what I'd pay to rent it, so I just got it.  It has its moments.  If you don't set your expectations too high, you'll like it.

The story starts with a girl who witnessed a murder is being hidden by the government in its witness protection program, it then continues with her experiences. The story was I thought was better than average. The writer had taken some care in thinking out many of the problems that such a girl would face. Some of the people around her were interesting characters.

The acting itself in parts could have been better. Probably, the best I thought was Jeremy Sumpter performance.

It is not a big-budget  movie so the actual filming is not spectacular, but I think it was good enough.

Overall, a watchable movie.

If you want to just sit down and enjoy a good story without having to do much critical thinking, then this is a pretty good movie. The plot is fairly simple, and the characters are easy to recognize. Nothing as deep and complex as anything Hayao Miyazaki might create, but still good. The action sequences and character effects are incredible, especially since each still of the movie was drawn by hand.

All-in-all, I'd watch it again.

Good movie to watch when nothing is on. Good story and characters. I would recommend this at least once to see then judge for yourself

Low budget '50s noir with a twist.  Good acting and location filming.

A low-key sci-fi drama, a throwback to COCOON or CLOSE ENCOUNTERS (without, of course, the budget of a Spielberg or a Ron Howard film). This Australian made, American set film nonetheless presents an engaging story set against the backdrop of an impending nuclear war. The performances are mostly strong and visual effects are used well, albeit sparingly, plus there's a moment or two of limb-growing body-horror. The sci-fi element is ambiguous (what exactly is the macguffin, who sent it, etc?) and it's worth tempering your expectation for sci-fi spectacle - this is a slow burn film - though it builds to a killer climax.

Good flick, not 4 1/2 stars though.  Pretty low budget.

This movie moves a bit slow in the beginning, but stay with it and you won't be disappointed. A bit low brow but the drama is subtle and the action will come!

People, keep in mind this is a lower budget film. That being said, huge surprise in how well this film is shot. Going into this with low expectations probably helped, but I can't deny the effort here. Acting is probably its biggest strength, top notch and believable. Sound would be another strength, properly placed and enhanced the experience. The two male leads did seem a little douchey at times, but not overly obnoxious. The main threat leading into the end, itself,  was a little generic looking, but more than made up for in build up and the nail biting last 25 minutes of the film where it just goes off the rails in a good way.  Its not perfect, but people are being way too hard on this.  Mostly due to being found footage, which if that isn't your thing, fair enough, but don't give it a bad review just because its not your cup of tea.

A nice, simple story, with good acting. Not a "blockbuster" movie, but for an upbeat movie with a plausible plot and good cast, it was fine. Also, good for the entire family I would say.

This beautifully written story has some problems due to it's ultra low budget. The camera work is not very good, some of the acting is spotty. But former porn queen Georgina Spelvin, the two male leads and the girl who plays the Rabbi's daughter are superb. Some may find this hard to sit thru due to the camerawork, but the story and script are so well executed, that this is forgivable. I believe the director also wrote this. I'd like to see what he can do with a real budget, and a real crew.

The movie is a good drama but if you are looking for more of the Sci Fi its not there very much.

The characters were interesting, the sets definitely low-budget, but not disgustingly so, acting was surprisingly well done and the ending was okay, left me with a "Wha???"

I had never heard of this movie but took a chance based on reviews and it was a pretty good movie for low budget. Who doesn't like hot chicks kicking the butt out of evil men :) The story was realistic and could eventually happen after the apolocoypse.

A great movie with a good plot doesn't need lots of violence and/or sex.  This is one of those.

I reserve 4 stars for movies that I wouldn't mind seeing again.  There aren't very many of them.
