    Civil War enactments

    This movie was great, I worked with a number of guys who use to participate in those civil war enactments, and watching this movie was a little scary.

    They would actually come to work describing these enactments and I just could never understand why they would do them. Sometimes they would get quiet when I approach the conference room, I guess fear of hurting my feelings.

    Trailer misleads!!

    When I saw the trailer of this movie, I thought it was going to be a weird horror movie that is fun to watch. But when I watched the movie, it was so much different. There isn't any horror in it. Its not a bad movie but it's not what I expected. They're were literally people walking out of the cinema because they expected something different.

    Its a fine movie to watch. But not cinema worthy. There's no horror in it. Its not a scary movie just violent in the way slavery.

    Why Didn't The Writer and Production

    Why didn't the writer and production team spend more time developing this story? This movie had the potential to be very interesting .One that would of been a must see, but it falls short. At first I was intrigued as well as excited,but as the movie shifted to the last part I started to get a sense of where it was heading. It just was not as clever as I had thought it would be. It is missing so much of the story and creative elements that you are left wanting. The ending twist is revealed so quickly, it makes the twist stupid. If it would of been presented in a different way it may have changed my impressions. I will say it is visually appealing but that doesn't make up for the substance it lacks. I will tell you truly the last thoughts and feeling I had when the ending credits started was "What it is over, where is the rest?" Followed by a feeling of thorough disappointment. So in short the movie starts of interesting and ends with you feeling disenchanted and let down.

    Mind Blown

    I like the concept of this movie. I know that some people would say this is not a horror. I don't want to spoil the film so I'm not going to say much. However being a black woman myself, I would say hell yeah this is a horror to me. Definitely worth watching, be open minded.

    • Trivia
      Gerard Bush got the idea from a nightmare he once had. He initially thought it would be a good basis for a short story, but he later developed it with co-director Christopher Renz into a screenplay for a feature film.
    • Goofs
      During Veronica's Skype conversation with Elizabeth, she positions her laptop in a different angle so that her daughter isn't visible on the camera. However, when the shot cuts to Elizabeth's perspective, Veronica's camera is back in place from where it was prior.
