I was also expecting some kind of huge reveal with Daryl because they kept showing his POV in the go kart but not him, so obviously he was going to have something creepy and awesome going on when he came back. Nope.<br /><br />I think they wound up making about 60-70 percent of a good movie here, and I'm not sorry I bought the movie. But with a little bit more time and money and a couple more passes on that screenplay I think it would have been an utter classic.Tim Lehnererhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02410878013331168436noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-715711610648154390.post-21747349515777319522015-10-31T19:22:40.264-04:002015-10-31T19:22:40.264-04:00I found this movie to be something of an endurance...I found this movie to be something of an endurance test--I found the characters annoying, and the soundtrack and cinematography really grated on my nerves, but I kept watching because of tantalizing hints of a cool ending. That never came.<br /><br />I wonder--is the movie an attempt to trick the viewer into experiencing a bit of the spiral into madness of the characters? Nah, probably not, but it kinda felt that way.Doug Hudsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05651720537097952075noreply@blogger.com
