For years the coordinates were classified, but in 2008 a team of investigators is sent in to chart the unmapped area.
The films sound design is excellent, eerie forties music constantly wafts around your 5:1 system driving the viewer as insane as the characters and there is some truly excellent camera work, especially when you consider its a low budget indie film.
My problem is with the actual story which almost peaks at the half way mark and never regains the momentum. The end is interesting and i certainly never saw it coming.
As i type this i am actually realising i need to see the film again and fairly soon, probably because i now know the type of film it is and may get more out of the last half. |
I have that knocking around somewhere, haven't seen it yet. I'll see if I can find it after the footy.
Thanks for the reminder! I had totally forgotten about it.
