Claire Parker (Lauren Lewis) is about to die in the most gruesome manner imaginable, and there's absolutely nothing she or anyone else can do about it - or is there?

Somewhere along this gruesome timeline lies a secret that, once discovered, will finally allow Claire's tortured soul to rest in peace. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

Critic Reviews

Justin Chang, Variety
Will viewers brave a second viewing and relive the routine slasher-thriller mayhem, unintentional comedy and atrocious soundtrack to catch all the clues foreshadowing the clever twist ending?
Anton Bitel, Eye for Film
With a bigger budget, who knows what horrific gem the Crook brothers could unearth, but in the meantime they have taken all manner of second-hand parts and salvaged from them a modest yet impressively assured psycho-mystery - with a hell of a final twist.
Brian Holcomb, Beyond Hollywood
A throwback to the salad days of regional horror filmmaking, when a Romero in Pittsburgh, or a Herk Harvey in Utah could create a movie that was not easily forgotten.
Pablo Villaca, Cinema em Cena
O desfecho é interessante e Lewis é uma protagonista razoável, mas o filme se torna excessivamente repetitivo depois dos primeiros 40 minutos.
Eric D. Snider, EricDSnider.com
It's a low-budget, low-impact, low-quality horror flick with a cool idea that simply doesn't withstand being stretched over 90 minutes.
Scott Weinberg, eFilmCritic.com
Feels a whole lot like a rock-solid short film that was streeeeetched into feature length without adding the components than a 90-minute movie requires.

Best part of this movie was Lauren Lewis. Movie was twisted throughtout, my guess a B cult movie of the future. Would only add this one if I found it in a pawn shop thank God for Netflix.
A.D. V

Think of it as a horror equivalent to Groundhog's Day being that the main character relives her death over and over no matter what she tries to do different. It has alot of problems namely its low budget, however once it gets going its really worth it especially the ending.
Chosen 7

Decent film, interestingly ironic twist.
