Surprisingly effective low-budget independent
Catch-523 November 2000
This low-budget sci-fi thriller was shot on location in North Carolina. It features an unknown cast, including my former English professor, Neill Clark, in a major role. Hampered by a lack of budget, it nevertheless is tremendous fun to watch. References to Hitchcock films abound (especially North by Northwest), and the plot echoes Kubrick's 2001: A Space Odyssey. The scripting is quite competent, and certain unresolved ambiguities only add to and deepen the meaning. The ending is quite ambitious and works remarkably well. The film is, overall, TONS more entertaining than the average overblown Hollywood production.
