  continuity: when the main character is demonstrating the phenomenon to the women on the beach, she pours what is clearly clear fluid from her thermos instead of coffee into their paper cup. I loved the visual effects, the whole look of the film was fantastic. The story was silly, but effective enough to introduce the technique to others. I hope it makes it at a bunch of festivals so we may see some more of the techniques employed in mainstream film....

  P.S. The supernatural aspect reminded me of Fanny and Alexander right down to the supersaturated white when we witness the supernatural occur. (As opposed to the oversaturated color in the rest of the film which, frankly, looks fantastic.) Also, the fake blood just did not look like blood to me. Why does it bother me? Well, because the camera gets pointed at it over and over when everyone is wondering what it could be. So what was it anyway, blood? Furthermore, when did Juan Valdez trade his mule for a bike?...

  Well, it was...interesting enough. Can't say I'm a mega fan of a story just for a story's sake. I mean, what is the meaning here? Why should we care about these individuals being portrayed? What character development or change occurred? It's like...here's a bunch of Californians...and then some weird things happen...and then...maybe they move...or don't...and then...that's it. That said, the directing was pretty good, the acting wasn't bad (such as it was, I mean, "Californians acting like Californians" isn't a HUGE leap - can't say I'm a fan of Lil, though), and I liked the music. The story was very...
