Good 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 scenes that don't seem related to each other, the stranger telling them "You're already dead", few minutes of "deep" conversation, finally unexplained men in hazmat suits appearing and spraying smoke machines around, and then abruptly ending just when it seems like the second act was about to begin. Plus some sort of "time loop" allusion where everything unexplainedly starts again. But no hint of any explanation at all, for any of it, no plot, nothing. It's like they had a jumble of ideas and didn't think they needed to tie them into any kind of a narrative. Seriously disappointing. Not actually pretentious in its production values, 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, a jumble of unexplained scenes, some pointless pseudo-"deep" talk and then end credits.
