Earth Over Earth

Serious swing and a complete miss. Starts out for at least half of it seeming like that rare decent indie flick, as a couple on a technology-and-sex-fast in the woods have a brutish, shirtless, drunken stranger stumble into the cabin... but then, after that setup, abandons telling a story in favor of a few minutes of "deep" conversation, unexplained men in hazmat suits appearing and spraying smoke machines around, and then abruptly ending just when it seems like there was going to be some kind of story. Plus some sort of "time loop" allusion where everything unexplainedly starts again, and stranger tells them on the second go-round, "you're already dead". But no hint of any explanation at all, for any of it, no plot, nothing. Seriously disappointing. Not actually overbearingly indie in its production, like most of the things I categorize as "way too indie" are, but, come on, you at least have to have a story, not just the beginning of a story, then just pointless pseudo-"deep" talk and then end credits.
