FrogGlace In other words,this film is a surreal ride.

Helllins It is both painfully honest and laugh-out-loud funny at the same time.

Skyler Great movie. Not sure what people expected but I found it highly entertaining.

Logan By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

celr I've seen a lot of low-budget horror films and most are mediocre at best. This is the exception. First of all, it has an unusual story line, not your average vampire or monster, or mad slasher either. And though not high-tech, the effects are skillfully executed. I found it to be both scary and intriguing. Some moments were genuinely frightening. George (Vince Mola) is suffering from a head injury and it has affected his brain. He is having scary visions. He shows up at his dead grandmother's old house which he inherited but which has been condemned by the city. George wants to fix it up and live there. The house is dilapidated and spooky enough, but George's visions are getting worse and strange things are happening at night. We don't know if he's becoming mentally ill, if he's haunted by the ghost of his dead grandmother or if he's recovering memories from his past. George doesn't know either and goes about trying to find answers in his rather disorganized, mentally compromised way. Mola is just right for the part of the confused George. The atmosphere is perfect and I was impressed with the considerable skill with which the story unfolds. This film is definitely worth viewing on a rainy evening.

Billy_Crash Screenwriter and Director Lance Weiler's film (Brian Majeska shared writing duties) is an unexpected, quality driven dramatic horror that sinks deep and doesn't let go long after the end credits roll. Using "any means necessary," Weiler delivers a solid feature of milieu and atmosphere, psychology and imagery. Without a doubt, after watching over 1,250 horrors, and many of them low budget, this is one of the very best I've ever seen.Though some say the movie is slow, they're missing the point. Horror is not just blood, guts and action; in fact, nailing down a definition may lead to a full-blown migraine. This is a character study of George Walker, the teen who left home and came back as a man to reclaim his grandmother's residence from demolition. However, from the opening credits, George quickly learns that one can't go home again. Vince Mola is rock solid as the tormented and slightly off protagonist whose only apparent goal is to fix up his deceased grandmother's abode and sell it. On this adventure, which spans a mere set of days, George encounters old neighbors, both good (the Thompson family) and bad (Chester Jackson), and old romantic interests (Mary Sherman). Woven throughout are George's nightmares, which seem tie in to a Christian-based "Come to Jesus" booklet and that of a missing young woman.Throughout the film, Weiler brings us perfect lighting, the excellent cinematography of Sam Levy, great characters, surprises and enough imagery (minus the heavy-handedness of Lars Von Trier) to paint an extraordinarily vivid picture of internal strife. From aerial shots, thanks to an ultra-light pilot who accepted a case of beer and gas money, to the wonderful visual effects of Scott Hale and Andy Williams, to the perfect score by Brian McTear and Amy Morrissey, this is one of the most well constructed narratives I've seen in some time. As for story, though seemingly simple and oft heard, there is far more to it than that. The tale intrigues and even in the end, one can argue and discuss about several points. And no, this does not mean the story leaves the audience hanging, yet there is no perfect bow on the package either, just like real life. Whether intentional or not, Weiler and Majeska have created a story that walks the fine line between a boring and blatant American ending where everything is explained to the obscure endings of Europe that usually leave Americans scratching their heads. This well-crafted finish should satisfy the cinematic needs of both groups.Also known for the gripping THE LAST BROADCAST, Weiler continues to create solid features. I only hope someone with deep pockets will sponsor his future full-length projects so we can enjoy more of his dramatic stories of absorbing atmosphere and character.

PaulyC George Walker is moving into his grandmother's old house. While fixing it up he suffers a head trauma which causes him to have weird dreams and visions. These weird visions are actually a link to his past. In the wrong hands this story could come out just plain silly but director Lance Weiler does a good job with his low budget. I liked the look and feel of the movie and there were some pretty scary moments. The acting was even decent especially from Mary Monahan who plays Mary, a love interest of George's who doesn't quite have the same feeling for him. The interactions between George and her are actually realistically written and well acted. There are even some well done special effects that these low budget movies usually stay away from. I'd be curious to see what new projects this director is working on. Over all this is good stuff!

Billybob-Shatner I'm always on the prowl for a great undiscovered indie. So many are made, so few live up to their promise. Open Water and the Blair Witch Project, while marketable and financially successful, did not feel like professional efforts. They were not engrossing, the writing was simplistic at best, and most people I've spoken with were left unsatisfied. Head Trauma is an example of smooth masterful direction, coupled with logical and clever writing that turns what could've been just another rushed indie effort, into something much more satisfying. I was very pleasantly surprised. On the downside, the lead actor, while satisfactory, clearly isn't a professional. At the same time, he might be just be effective enough to keep the film afloat.The film moves at a slow deliberate pace, and managed to keep me engrossed the entire running time. Some of the scare moments are very effective, and the ending, is far more logical than any of the resent Hollywood entries to the horror genre.Highly recommended.
