Very strange plotline but a horror fan will likely enjoy this and get a few laughs while watching too.

Movie Reviews
Interesting and scary comedy/thriller
Reina W. | Buffalo, NY | 09/30/2005
(4 out of 5 stars)
"This movie is a very-well acted, extremely low-budget thriller that starts off as a comedy, then turns into a horror movie, but still ends as a comedy, sort of. A lot of these cheap independent thrillers tend to be very artsy and weird. This one is definitely weird, but it also has some conventional elements (in a good sense). The acting is great. The lead actor, Kelly Miller, looks familiar but I checked and it doesn't look like he's been in any other movies. He sort of looks like what the guy in "Shaun of the Dead" might look like without his goatee.
It feels like your average office comedy at first (I think fans of "Office Space" and "Haiku Tunnel" will like this movie) but something is off...Strange things happen, people whisper about scary goings-on, and eventually you get the sense that something awful is about to happen. And it does, sort of. The ending isn't very climactic, it leaves lots of questions, and some viewers will probably be disappointed by that part of the movie. But it makes you think, and there is something very interesting about a film that doesn't answer all the questions posed by its story."
Unexpectedly Great: Dark and Bright Both

"I happened to see this movie in New York last year. It was a smaller movie, and I didn't know quite what to expect. I'm glad I saw it, because it was one of the most original fllms I saw all year. The director has a sense of black comedy that you don't really see too much of anymore -- it wasn't obvious or thickheaded -- and the actors, while not recognizeable figures from tv or other movies, did a great job with the material. It's one of those movies that just has a good feel to it. You'll be happy you watched it."
The ultimate office satire...

"Anybody who has ever worked an office job MUST see this movie. It's hilarious! The scene with the coffee maker is priceless."
Classic comedy and true suspense
Lula McBride | New York City | 08/06/2006

"The director has a great ability with a classic kind of physical and situational comedy ala early silent films and Buster Keaton (helped along by the lead actor's superb performance). Also, in stark contrast, the director demonstrates he can create a highly unnerving feeling of suspense from the first moment in the film."
