    Okay I get the concept and the messge it was presenting, but It misleads folks into thinking it is a horror flick! It is a mystery/suspense. This gets a sideway thumbs because the story was good, but misleads folks into thinking it is horror. When I want to see horror, darn it, I want scary and not a thought provoking message flick.

    Wow, totally different story and concept of saving ....cannot say more, or it would be giving it away. Well directed and acted, it's a tale needing to be told. It kept me watching, have a glass of wine or two, and let the plot keep you going. Loved it.
