I think conceptually this movie had some light potential and intrigue, but it ended up being so undercooked that it kind of fell flat.
It was like they came up with a cool idea, conceptually turned it into what could've been a 30 minute short film and then padded out the concept to fill a whole movie. Things kept happening and I kept being like... Why did that just happen, what was that supposed to mean, and how did that affect or further the plot at all? The pacing was a little off as well, having nothing particularly interesting happen until about an hour in.
Also, a large disappointment here were the performances. I think the subpar level of acting ability demonstrated here greatly hindered its potential success. It was surprising because it was literally the entire cast... the girl who played Clara showed some potential but that was about it.
At the end of the day this one just felt pretty amatureish and didn't really work for me all the way. I think my biggest issue is that it felt like someone had a good idea, but simply did not know how to write a movie. Probably would not recommend.
