Review:

Ben (Philip Saad) actually makes a living as a writer of short stories and poems. He suffers from acute agoraphobia, that even stepping three feet outside of his apartment to get groceries is a complete impossibility. He has a girlfriend Victoria (Diana C. Salinas) who visits from time to time and a sore on his arm which he tried to surgically remove himself.

The film then moves into a science fiction horror that I will only say reminded me of "Liquid Sky." The production would have been better off a short feature. It took a long time to develop while never letting us know much about the characters. Once it was into the swing of things, it was filmed mostly in the dark, with some scenes being totally black. Again it stayed at this point far too long without the plot moving linear. The ending was messed up. Clearly this seemed to be the ending the script writers had in mind, I just didn't find it entertaining.

"Addicted to Love" would have made for a better sound track choice than the hip-hop Amaru composed for the film that seemed out of place.
