An absolutely brilliant film - I rented this one, watched it earlier in the week and decided to buy it based on how good it was.

Great film. Plan on picking up the Region A Blu Ray when I have money to spend.

Coincidentally I just bought this film recently after reading some promising reviews. Haven't watched it yet though. Today and tomorrow I'll be at the cinema (International Short Film Festival), but now I'm even more curious about watching it afterwards!

Saw it at FrightFest last year - with the subdued tone and relative lack of the aforementioned "monsters", it seemed a bit out of place, but I was impressed, as much with the story of how it was made as with the film itself.

I plan to pick it up on Blu-ray, but not sure which version. The region A seems to have a few additional extras but the UK disc has the short film.

Must confess, I didn't really connect with it, and I thought the ending especially was a bit of a nothing. Didn't regret seeing it but was glad it hadn't cost me anything, and I doubt I will ever feel the urge to sit through it again.

All the comments I've heard about this film are so divisive.

I want to see it for myself. I have no idea where my opinion will fall.

Bag of shite.

Sorry if that's blunt, but the pain medication for my back is doing weird things. Up, up AND AWAY!

I remember reading about this months ago and seeing the trailer. Looks interesting but I haven't watched/bought it, yet.

I picked up the Optimum release of Apocalypse Now yesterday, will probably watch it later. I traded in a couple of old games into Tesco against it, something I'd highly recommend as it put to shame what GAME/Gamestation were offering.

The sampling of comments above shows just how divisive this film was. As I've said, I personally loved it, but there are plenty of people whose opinions I respect absolutely despised it.
