This film captured my attention from the outset - a murder mystery that unravels into a suspenseful spiritual study of a man psychologically coping with a God-complex. Basically, Nietzsche on acid (or in this case, DMT). The lead actor demonstrates a wide range portraying a 360-degree human with laser precision on every detail, with every movement, and penetrating behavior. It's worth noting that the concept of this being filmed in a single location works on the viewer's subconscious where the feeling of confinement and not being able to escape runs as an undercurrent to the abject horror.

This is the worst movie I've seen in a long time. I made this account just to review it so you (hopefully) wouldn't get tricked by the decent rating like we did. Predictable, boring, poorly written, bad acting...soooo bad.

I'm a bit confused on how this flick attained high ratings. Positive reviews from cast and family??? Friends?? Bribery??? On the plus side, the acting wasn't bad at all. Cinematography was good. The rest was down hill. Old plot, a laughable "twist". This is a non thinking persons film.

The cinematography is beautiful in a way I rarely see in indie films. Plot line is really twisted and not for the faint of heart. As a non horror fan I had a hard time watching but I think that's the point!

I have seen Daneil DeWeldon portray a Tennessee Williams cross-dresser with heart-wrenching vulnerability, and in Anonymous 616 a PTSD plagued vet who unravels with terrifying believability. This actor is a chameleon who can deliver the best, the worst, the darkest, and--yes--the creepiest of the characters he undertakes to serve up to the audience so fearlessly. His next stop should be with A-listers in a mega-hit. That said, this movie was a vehicle for a mind-blowing performance by a gifted lead actor; but the story was hardly deserving of his talents. Brutal and, in many ways, offensive, I would not recommend it to people of delicate sensibilities. Not sure whether it was trying to make a statement about drug use bringing out the worst in a sufferer of PTSD, or implying that torturing prisoners of war can invite Satan into your heart. Either way, the outcome was unsavory and both the vet and the viewer end up losers.

You have to see this to believe it! The film deals with a lot of unspoken issues in society today, that need to be talked about more and dealt with properly. Daniel just blows the roof off this an american veteran character. It had me thinking what if i also didn't hold back, and stand up for myself? What kinda affect would it have on my interactions. This film is layered and i suggest watching a few times just like i did!!

Hollywood political and social agenda writers are ruining so many potentially good movies and television series, these days - that's what makes this one so much better than those - *nothing but entertainment for the viewer*! Pretty good plot, a tad predictable once you get into it, but it still kept me watching. Unknowns for cast, but they earned a "6" from me. Indie/independent movies are getting better, and better, and it will be *that* venue that brings Hollywood back to Reality Land...and they start to fire all their agenda-driven writers! Just! Entertain! Us!

The movie is well done - the acting is quite good, the story line keeps you guessing, the production values are solid... What's not to like? Perhaps some people could draw some deeper 'statement' from the movie - I did not - however its not a preachy film and certainly is open to interpretation - which I like. Enjoy.

Genuinely interesting premise and plot that goes into unchartered territory. I was pleasantly surprised by the intelligent exploration of both philosophical and psychological complexities. Definitely worth watching for its unique story as it shines a glaring light on PTSD, closeted opinions, repressed emotions, technology and Big Brother. The lead actor demonstrates an authentic portrayal of one affected by war, a God-complex, and betrayal in love and friendship.
