Low Budget a Distraction from a Good Story

Rating: 4/10 (6 December 2010)

This movie is a low budget art film. I love art films but have a hard time with the "low budget" part. Bad acting and cheap filming are a distraction from an otherwise deep and interesting storyline. Much like Aaron Sheley's (Oedipus Marshall) Shadow of Death. I liked the idea behind this film because I really movies and stories that explore relationships of things like numbers & "Golden Rule" with spirals, etc. and then tie it to the almost magical numerology of the Hebrew language... although I have to admit I didn't always follow it. Even though I had a hard time with low budget aspect, I did think the black & white, almost fully contrasted was a very interesting look.
