Slightly Offensive (slight plot spoilers)
I will start off by saying, despite a nice look on a microbudget, I wasn't impressed with it as a movie. I think the internet reviews gave way too much credit to "doing so much with so little," but forget there are movies like Tangerine out there, filmed on phones.
I found the views of women and mental illness a little offensive. Yes, I get the point was to make a horror movie, but this has been done before, with so much tenderness and care for the real disease, that is came off as abusing mental illness as some kind of threat to society. Knowing people who have suffered from paranoia and schizophrenia, the idea that this man could essentially live a normal life and switch one and off, is incorrect. Also, the blame wouldn't be a girlfriend, a friend, or anything else, but a true fear that someone was after them....constantly.
I also didn't like that a woman was the basis for each character's demise and each character's weakness or realizing their weakness. The addition of a female character who is seemingly impervious to emotional attachment and/or pain made me feel like the director was hashing out some resentment and not really making a film about mental illness. This is actually a common theme for college film projects, which, despite the clean look, was exactly what this was.
I will say one thing for the movie....the opening scene made me hope there was more to that moment and if there had been, the movie could have taken a very different, much more original twist, than the obvious ending.
