Newb Danish filmmaker Torben Bech wrote, produced and directed this film, and although a decent story, he had too many rookie mistakes. His directing certainly had lots of room for improvement, with too many long dragged out scenes, and some irrelevant shots. The shaky-cam filming was annoying, but got better as the film progressed (or I got used to it). The editing was terrible - if there even was any. Scenes just ended in black and/or had lousy transitions.
Conceptually, the story held my attention, and tension and suspense elevate towards the ending, but the rest of the film needed major trimming. There were many noticeable plot and technical issues, most that could've easily been avoided. The 111 min runtime felt much longer with the very slow pacing. Many scenes could've been cut out as they were just filler. This film needed some major trimming down to a max of a 90 min runtime.
The score was surprisingly decent, if not lacking in quantity, but still better than the typical B film constant, loud, overbearing and unfitting score. Casting was good, with Bre Blair and Luis Bordonada being the most convincing, and Michael Ray Escamilla the least convincing; he was too monotonic and lacked facial expressions, but I'm sure most of the blame falls onto Bech for failing to direct his cast properly.
It's a decent one-time watch for a non-Hollywood-ish production in this genre. It's a generous 7/10 from me, mostly for the final act that escalated with some great suspense and a tense ending.
