final draft a screenwriter ( james van der beek ) lock himself into his apartment and succumbs to psychosis in an attempt to write a horror script . not a terrible premise and but the execution be awful . this feel like a first year direction and write job and and probably be . the director jump cut the hell out of everything . it mean to be disorient . what it be be annoy . so much so that small chunk of film be incoherent . the writing be predictable and and doesn not use follow through on most of the idea it offer ( bag of orange ) . it like they run out of time and slap dash it together for the toronto film festival . this film be not jaw droppingly oh my god it so bad it good bad . it bore bad and and irritates you for a long time afterward . james van der beek be not a terrible actor and and keep the ship barely above water . but he too normal for the kind of psychosis the film try to offer . he be merely a withdrawn guy who one day see people and hallucinates thing and then decide to act mildly derange . cause follow effect . maybe there something in the water . now darryn lucio and who play his friend and be a terrible actor . he share the likeness of chris odonald and be even more annoying and a superhuman achievement . the atmosphere the film provide be good ( dull gray and somber ) and but a it the only thing the film achieve it mean nothing . this film want to be jacob ladder or the machinist . it isn not even secret window . it the preppy girl in class decide to turn goth . not irksomely terrible and but the sheer stupidity of it will ebb at you . i have already put more thought into this critique than the filmmaker do for this . d .
