User Review
a man wakes up deep in a cave, in what seems to be an abandoned and empty world. Covered in mud, he sets out trying to find where and who he is.
Rating: 8/10
I do not want to include spoilers in my comment so I will keep it
short. The reason for this is that the success of the film lies in the
haunting atmosphere and the journey on which it takes the viewer more
than in any actual plot. Indeed, the film is centred around one
character and the viewer more or less watches events unfold from the
character's viewpoint. The world first time director Frank Vestiel
creates is truly haunting and very original, it is miles away from most
of the clichés used to recreate a futuristic world. The atmosphere is
eerie and dialogue is kept to a minimum. The soundtrack is absolutely
beautiful. The plot is however a little unclear and some sequences are
quite long, and they are the more oppressive as the viewer is plunged
in darkness. But overall a very original film with very interesting
camera work and haunting and beautiful visuals especially considering
this is Vestiel's first full length feature with a limited budget at
his disposal. Definitely one to watch on the big screen.
