Longer than it has to be

I've seen reviews saying that people don't understand the bad reviews and that you have to "think" to be able to "get" this movie. In my opinion you only have to "get" that the scene showing the room with everything covered in white sheets with exception of part of the piano, is the room of a dead child. Which you " get" because the first scene is going down a hospital corridor while the father is speaking of talking to a man in a small room (don't remember exact dialogue). I believe it was drawn out for way too long. The ending was good, because I had wondered why his hand was in his pocket and not bleeding when he was walking back to the house. I could only give it a four, because the premise was good but all we needed was the beginning and ending of the movie.

A symbol of courage

I rather found this film to be a unique example on how our minds work during a catastrophic loss. David O' Hara portrayed such an individual as a successful father who lost a daughter to cancer. Imagine... if you will that you are someone who questions their sanity or fantasizes that you are crazy and everything else in between is nothing more than a fabricated lie. This is what O' hara saw when he realizes that the world is tumbling down brick by brick.To lose a love of your life to a disease that has no mercy in the victim. To see strange images of despair surrounding you like - - a cancer. Such as the dark figure who represents death or the grim reaper waiting patiently for O' Hara's soul to come to him but in turn has Anna his daughter try to convince Alex, (O' Hara) that he's not done yet on our mortal plane.I found this film a rather enjoyable watch because of the elements blended in that makes us who we are. Bleak pictures, to grim landscapes that represent our conscious thoughts in endless turmoil. To see a man broken into pieces because of the loss of his daughter, and a faithful wife who stood beside him the entire time.Steve Stone captured each shot brilliantly using dark tones, sinister shadows and mind bending scenes using light, slithering darkness swallowing up Alex in the hallway. The music also set the stage for building up the climax with visceral scratching effects and white noise to encroach a person's psyche.It is something we all have gone through. Heavy loss due to inoperable diseases to ailments without vaccines or cures. Losing a family member is hard, but to lose them slowly as they deal with the constant pain is absolute torture in itself, and David O' Hara displayed that perfectly in his role as Alex. I highly recommend this film for two reasons... One, it helps those deal with the pain of loss, and... Two the idea that life after death is final, is not always accurate.Incredible movie for such a low budget. The capture shots were excellent, locations were spot on, and hidden innuendos inside the film was a nice touch too. Enjoy this movie.
