Lack of production added to the realism

Love this flick! i thought that the lack of production, special effects, and shaky cam actually made it feel more submersive. Almost like i was there.

Yes. Great to see big budgets doesn't necessarily mean better. Script, actors and directing are always the foundations of a successful film and this is a great example. Oh, and editing of course.

some of the best films made are with low production/budget. You can do a lot with a great script/writing.

I think the same thing every time I watch this one. I wish there were a lot more films like this one.
