Playing a whimsical and quirky character is a Heluva challenge for any actor and an even bigger challenge for the filmmaker to make a solid movie out of an unconventional and quizzical script. Supremely talented actor Aya Cash and director/actor Josh Ruben do those things with conviction, grace, panache, and most importantly a ton of humor. The film may not be everyone's cup of tea and that is understandable as it's not made to please a mass audience but it's for a niche crowd of Horror/Comedy genre movie lovers who appreciates Top-Drawer method acting, dialogues, and brilliant display of talent.
Highs: Coming back to it performance from the two leads Aya Cash and Josh Ruben is magnificent. They really stretched the brilliance of Method acting and created something wonderful. There are only two supporting characters who did a sharp job in their pint-sized roles. Everything from the dialogue to scriptwriting, Music to ambiance creation is well thought and perfectly executed.
Lows; At certain points, the film may appear as a low-budget affair. As powerful as the script is it lacks an overall accomplishment factor. Punchy and quirky dialogues may appear puzzling to certain minds and the fact that the film is not made for mass movie lovers even from the Horror genre needs to be certainly identified as a disavowing element.
Rating: 4 ****
