A model socialite has a car accident and ends up off the road, isolated and upside down. Stuck in her car and a phone that only a few numbers work. She dials random numbers till she gets through to a person who says they will help. Turns out that this person doesn't want to help and just dissecte her relationship.It is unique and well acted. A woman stuck upside in a car talking to a mystery person on the phone for a whole film is actually better than it sounds. However the film never really seems to go anywhere. You are constantly waiting for the big pay off but it never really comes. There is a big twist at the end but there are too big a hint to what that twist is, so its not really that big a surprise. There are some consistences which are explained by the twist at the end. However there are others which is just bad writing. For instance, in these days of mobile phones, no-one rings a popular pretty girl because no-one has heard from her for hours? Her phone is broken and she can't put numbers in, but who ever puts the number of someone you know in their phone? Also I am 90% sure that her boyfriend is a actually a dummy for most of the film. Its only towards the end it is a real person. Its not a bad film but I think it would have worked better as a short film. You will struggle through but won't want to watch again.

Incredible movie. For a movie like this, to get made, is an accomplishment in and of itself. Well made, great acting, suspense thriller which is more than just a horror film. It's a film with a message. Worth the purchase. This film should have seen national release. Ignored by the industry's film festivals. Eye popper. Not for the young of heart but Eye Candy for revelers of the horror genre. Reminds me of a young, fearless M. Night Shyamalan movie! With a blush of Hitchcock. Michael Madsen is, typical, unforgettable. First time director/filmmaker has left a mark on Hollywood with this one. This reviewers fingers are crossed that there will be more movie magic from Harris to come. You've been notified!

I didn't expect this movie to really be so introspective. It was a pleasant surprise. I kind of expected a mini thriller/horror flick and this wasn't that. It has its aspects of thriller but really makes you think about who you date and the reasons you are dating them.Not sure how the actors got through it really hanging by a harness the entire time upside down. Was really well thought out and something I would watch again just for the story. Great for an independent film. I had gone in to it not hoping for too much knowing this was a low budget shoot, but it ended up being better than a lot of other movies I have seen lately. The biggest surprise for me is exactly how well it was directed. You can have a great story with great actors that can punch out lines, but I felt the director in this movie did a really good job. I am not familiar with Harris Demel but I will keep him in mind next time I see his name pop up.

Loved this indie film. Suspenseful thriller, kept me on the edge of my seat the entire time. The movie keeps us at the same setting (inside the flipped car) for most of the movie, yet you never get bored with it, as the plot is truly unique, different than anything you've watched before. If you expect your typical cookie cutter thriller, this is not it. It was THRILLING throughout with lots of twists in this super smart script. You won't be able to guess what comes next like most thrillers. The ending is surprising and thought provoking. This is what I'm looking for: quality films. Highly recommended.
