For a film that supposedly is so awful one must remember that this is an independent project with a non-existent budget. And for all the visible boom mics and dead rubber rats it still should be noted that this was a serious project for those involved and I have to give credit to director/producer Kevin Summerfield for pulling together a tough shoot with what he had. (did he need that Magic Book pages credit though?)It only goes to show how important a good script is. Without interesting, natural dialogue and a cohesive storyline any film will feel limp. The commentary also explains that the sound engineer was incompetent thus the regrettable re-dub. I would love to know the entire budget (the only mention is that the costume budget was under $1,000. Doesn't really help though) and also who got the tie-in with Wal-Mart. Perhaps it was a trade off to get all those candles? What the film lost in sparkle smoke it gained with distribution. The commentary is great! It's practically a how-to into low budget film making. How to cut corners with out making the film out of place. Thank God people still have the passion to go through with making their own movie. Look at the box. You know what you're getting. But as for the passion behind the film making process, it can not be denied. How many of us can say that we have a hyperlink on the IMDb?? Filmed beautifully in great natural locations in Maryland and Virgina. Nice editing job by producer/director. Looses 5 stars for poor script and sound disaster.
