Plot synopsis:
While on the phone with his girlfriend Jill (Ashley Hinshaw), who has moved away to attend college, David (Rhys Wakefield) prompts her to explicitly wish that he were there to see her compete in a fencing tournament, only to surprise her with an unplanned visit. After the competition, David approaches Jill's similarly attired opponent (Hannah Kasulka) from behind and flirts with her, thinking she is his girlfriend. Intrigued, she kisses David, and Jill storms off angrily after walking in on them. Later, David meets with his friend and roommate Teddy (Logan Miller), a sex-obsessed student who tells him that Jill will attend a house party later. Hoping that she will speak with him in person, David decides to attend the party, too.At nightfall, David and Teddy drive over to the large house where Angad (Rohan Kymal) is hosting the party in his parents house. Dozens of people are already there, drinking, partying, smoking dope, and other wild things.Meanwhile, a strange meteor lands near the site of the party, and electrical arcs cause a momentary blackout. The wild revelers do not notice brief, anomalous phenomena that occur during the blackout, such as a mirror image out of sync, but a drug dealer's girlfriend outside the party becomes spooked.As the raucous party proceeds, David searches the house for Jill, and Teddy attempts to charm Melanie (Natalie Hall) a very attractive blond student. To Teddy's surprise, Melanie invites him to join her upstairs in ten minutes. Meanwhile, David spies on Jill as she flirts with a friend. Elsewhere, Allison (Colleen Dengel), an outsider, unsuccessfully attempts to fit in. David attempts to apologize to Jill, but she becomes more angry with his fumbled apology and says that he makes her feel replaceable. When a small fire starts caused by a flying tennis ball, the sprinklers put out the fire. So, Angrad moves the party outside, and the house empties except for David, Teddy, Allison, and Melanie.When Teddy joins Melanie upstairs, he finds her naked on a bed. They proceed to have sex, and she steps into the shower afterward. During a second blackout, a duplicate of Melanie appears on the bed, surprised to find Teddy in the room. When the original Melanie exits the shower, the two Melanies come face-to-face, and Teddy flees the room in a panic.David confirms that the house has filled with duplicates of the party-goers, who repeat the actions their originals took ten minutes ago. Outside, the drug dealer Kyle (Adam David Thompson) and his duplicate get into a violent confrontation, and David watches as one of them murders the other. Worried that the duplicates may be hostile, the originals attempt to hide. Eventually, the duplicates disappear when another blackout happens due to the strange supernatural event.With each blackout, the duplicates momentarily reappear and reenact increasingly more recent actions. David becomes convinced that he can save his relationship if he crafts a better apology to Jill's duplicate. At the same time, Allison befriends her duplicate (Suzanne Dengel). Also, Teddy accidentally ruins the rendez-vous between his and Melanie's duplicates.Teddy runs outside and warns the other partygoers that his duplicate will now become belligerent, and he convinces the party-goers, most of whom are still skeptical, to hide from their duplicates in a pool house. When the duplicates reappear, David knocks his own duplicate unconscious and charms Jill's duplicate, and Teddy's duplicate attempts to convince the skeptical crowd of duplicates to attack the originals.Worried about their safety, several of the originals sneak out and murder their duplicates, which turns the enraged duplicates hostile. The originals retreat back to the pool house, and the duplicates lay siege. The next blackout causes the duplicates to appear inside the pool house. The crowded room erupts in violence, and several people die, including Teddy.David tracks down the original Jill, who had wandered back to the house, and he murders her so that he can be with her duplicate. In the meantime, the narcissist Allison seduces her duplicate, and they share a kiss.The final blackout causes the duplicates and originals to merge. David and Jill leave together and make their way to the pool house and have a make-out session. The confused party-goers stagger out of the pool house, and they begin to disperse. In the final shot, two meteors, like the original, are shown passing through the sky and appear to be leaving Earth.

Review: I guess the one thing everyone can agree on is that it's a 'B-movie.' Therefore, most likely everyone concerned with making it knew that it was never going to be a massively commercial box office smash.
It starts off like some sort of adult-humour piece like American Pie, then it progresses into a looping version of Groundhog Day. There's also a fair bit of 'gratuitous' nudity which (judging from what I've read online) seems to have put a lot of people off from taking the plot seriously.When I read that synopsis I thought it was going to have something to do with aliens.
Without giving too much away about the plot, it tries to be a little bit different (and succeed), but then it strays into that area where it starts to become too clever for its own good.
Any film concerning time travel is going to have some major plot holes.
It's just here they took that concept a little too far.For fans of sci-fi B-movies only.http://thewrongtreemoviereviews.blogspot.co.uk/.
I really liked the plot idea for this film.
The ending seems misplaced and rushed.Except Rhys Wakefield who was very doll-like, the acting was quite good.
Some kind of weird meteor hits the ground and causes an otherworldly electrical disturbance in the vicinity of a big college party.
It appears to try for them all, but doesn't achieve any with particularly flying colors.A lot of people will probably like this just for the awesome party depiction; and that's cool.
This movie has a lot of other things going for it, including a good premise, decent acting, glossy big-budget-looking production values, and some nudity (yay!).
A bunch of one-dimensional characters try to say deep things once in a while, and their reactions to the strange situation are a little contrived, as if the writers chose to force a horror/thriller show from a premise that should've taken a more intriguing route.
I guess the party was just that good.It turned out fun, somewhat entertaining, and a bit disturbing, but could've been more.
A sci-fi twist on a standard college party movie.
I don't know if that was the reason I liked it so much or not but I really thought this was a neat movie.
What started off as just another college party movie became something that isn't really seen in movies anymore...originality.
I don't want to give anything away so I can only describe this as the first "let's get drunk and have sex with other college students/sci-fi" movie I have ever seen.
Because of the seemingly decline of cinema creativity, i am nowadays tempted to highly rate any movie that shows up with a different concept, plot, history or whatever.I am so fed up with the repeating and predictable tons of films out each year that i was indeed very pleased with this one.The plot is brilliant and something new and exciting.
It could have been easily a box office scifi movie but, instead, became an almost obscure mix between an good base story and a bad teenage college movie.Boobs included..
Plain and simple, they were both negative.I disagree with them.If you're looking for a movie with quality cinematography, well-written dialogue, and mature/growing characters, then yes, you will probably be disappointed with this feature.I on the other hand look beyond such things with this film.
It definitely sparked some crazy conversations amongst friends and I, going anywhere from morals to string theory.This film blew my mind, in an Inception/Fight Club-esque sort of way, especially after the credits rolled.I know this review may not reveal a lot about the film, but that's what is fun about it.
The actors are competent for their age which probably means they're all older than their characters, but some like Logan Miller's "Teddy" are muted, not given quite enough from the script.
Not quite enough explanation is given for the cause, but the story concept actually turns out good.
Most of the horror comes from the characters, especially one story line, and that serves the movie.
Pacing is a problem for the film, you come out of a funny or scary scene, and then the movie hits the breaks.
I think if the director had gone through one more edit, one more script revision, and the better actors given a little more meat on their plates, this would have been great.
If you expect your average teen party gone wrong movie, then you are in for a surprise (and a pleasant one in my opinion).Although the movie borrows forms and cinematic elements from horror sci-fi movies, it goes way beyond that.
But what is interesting is that "Plus One" characters are not just some beautiful people screaming for their lives (going always to the wrong direction).The people involved are complicated forced to deal with them selves and the choices they make in life.To me the movie is more of an allegoric tale about growing up, maturing, evolving, packed in a film genre that most of the time has nothing but chills to offer.
The trailer didn't give me too high hopes, but after just 5 minutes into the movie I was hooked.The camera-work was great and you really got the feel for the atmosphere at the party.
I felt like I wanted to be at that party, it wasn't fake nor forced in any way.
Very good natural acting by many of the actors.If you like unique sci-fi mixed with ordinary well played drama, and with an edge to it all, then this is the movie for you.
David (Wakefield) makes out with another woman in front of his long-time girlfriend, Jill (Hinshaw) and gets dumped in the process.
David shows up at a party to try to get Jill back, but there is a little detour along the way.
People show up at the party that look EXACTLY like everybody else.
Therein lies the foundation for this exceedingly odd yet mildly engrossing and mostly worth the while story (say, 2 3/4 out of 5 stars) written and directed by Dennis Iliadis, whose previous project was the 2009 remake of "The Last House on the Left".The plot revolves in and around a completely hedonistic pagan ritual of a college bash thrown by a rich kid in his folks mansion while the parental units are away.
Teen party, Science Fiction, Murder, Sex, Comedy, Exs and Time Paradox...what else do you need?.
It's a fast film, It has occasional and well-fit comedy, It has a very interesting time paradox that's like a mindf***, It includes three great stars who you can be related with, It has moments where you can see how fu**** is the human in one very particular scene.
I'll never understand how AWESOME movies like this pass by so fast and get so underrated.
If you are the type of viewer that a little nudity can satisfy the lack of a good story and acting then this is the movie for you.
For crying out loud even Keanu Reeves and Ryan Gosling look like Oscar winners compared with what the most actors but especially the main male actor have to offer in this total waste of time.
To think that this could actually be a good movie if you had a real director, writer and actors LOL.
Time Travel is a kinda tricky thing to deal with in movies.
Another recent example which barely makes it to the list would be Looper, once again not without flaws but the movie itself addressed the issues of time travel and thereby negating some that it could have had.
The point being few movies can nail it and the best is already out there: Robert Zemeckis' Back to the Future Trilogy, GroundHog Day and TimeBandits.If you are not gulled into thinking this is a sequel to the Google pwned The Internship, +1, comes from Dennis Iliadis, the director of The Last House on the Left (the 2009 one, which I found amusing) is not essentially a time travel movie but a genre mash up.
Its a mix of college party movie, a romance drama and sci-fi.
Anybody who's seen this movie can't possibly deny that its got some nifty ideas but it all tumbles down the hill due to lazy and amateur performances, inconsistent pacing and gaping plot holes.
The only scantily commendable performance comes from Pretty Little Liar's Natalie Hall along with gratuitous nudity.Loads and loads of flaws and some unexplained sequences makes an otherwise novel movie just barely watchable.
The movie definitely has a interesting and unique premise, the idea of self at each instance of time and meeting oneself from a different moment and not knowing what to do, and wondering if you're friend or foe to yourself.
I think the idea of this movie is ingenious.
The idea of dimensional collision, similarly like movie "Coherence" is so grasping that the execution becomes the key.
Strong logic and high detail about what each characters have done.If you love "Back to the future" or "Butterfly effect" must watch this movie.++ Sorry for bad grammar.
This movie is only 3 stars for me because it has tried something new and other than that it is just a waste of time, so I am giving 3 stars only for trying something new..There are many mistakes in this movie which I will not even go into details, especially logic mistakes.Dennis Iliadis has tried something different but hasn't been able to deliver something satisfactory..This movie made me curious at the beginning as it promised some space action with some good looking girls and a mystery around all but as the movie went on I became more and more disappointed....
Triangle starring the cast of American Pie. The plot: During an out-of-control party, a group of college students experience a timeline disturbance that causes duplicates of themselves to appear.The basic concept of this film is interesting, even if it is a bit of a retread of many other recent films, including Triangle, Timecrimes, Primer, etc.
I'm inclined to take a charitable view of both films, but it's difficult to say with certainty that they are intentionally taking a stance against misogyny.If you're the sort that enjoys gratuitous nudity, ignores plot holes and other contrivances, and thinks that people read way too much into films, you'll probably enjoy this.
it is a scary film to be watched at night time, that is for sure.
actually, she didn't speak any common Asian language at all, i think that she just said whatever to make it sounded like Japanese.it is supposed to happen in a college, but it has no Asian students in it.
The writing and ideas are original and interesting, and the movie leaves you thinking.It does start with typical teenage nonsense, including a young couple that reach a crisis and are about to break up, and a debauched party that includes tons of sex, nudity, alcohol, strippers, flaming tennis balls, and Nyotaimori (naked sushi).
But even this party has a purpose in the overall plot.A meteor hits, and strange things start to happen.
And finally, one guy manages to exploit the phenomenon in a very dark way to ensure that reality goes his way...There is also fun to be had in the tightly-plotted time-loop and overlapping of events and reactions from the various copies.Altogether, an underrated sci-fi movie that does what it should: explore humanity through a bizarre idea.
A few reviewers have said that there's a good premise in this movie.
Every now and then the mains power flickers on and off, there's a little bit of dubstep music, and the clones catch up a few minutes on the time delay.
Finally the delay disappears entirely and the clones seem to merge with the originals.It's not a good idea for a movie.
Unfortunately it feels pretty moronic.This movie does have a lot of genuinely young-looking actors in it however.
I watched this movie together with 2 friends and we had a really good time.
We all liked the idea of replicants appearing at a party.
The actors did a good job and there's a lot of humor during the entire movie.
But maybe the movie is just trying to show us that we are our own enemy...something along the lines of "homini hominis lupus est"All in all the whole scenario including the ending reminded me a lot of the replicant story from Stanislaw Lem's "The Star Diaries".
Your usual college party movie, but with enough of a twist to stand out..
Admittedly, I was drawn into this movie for it seemed like it would sort of be like About Time since it seemingly featured a guy trying to work things out with his girlfriend after failing the first time, but seemingly getting a second chance due to time travel.
What also helped is a lot of the actors are people who you may have seen in bit roles from other films, or in TV shows, so it makes it where you have this occasional feeling of thinking you saw that face somewhere.Now, in the film we have quite a large cast, but the main people we focus on are David (played by Rhys Wakefield), who is our lead and is all about his girlfriend Jill (played by Ashley Hinshaw), a girl who is starting to do really well in life, but wondering if maybe David is stuck in the past.
Then there is Teddy (played by Logan Miller), who sort of fits your Teen movie best friend role to a T, and his love interest Melanie (played by Natalie Hall) who we really don't learn much about, besides her being a bit kinky in bed.
Lastly, there is Angad (played by Rohan Kymal) who is throwing the party in which most of the film takes place.In +1, the story begins making you believe it is going to be a romantic film about a guy (David) and his girl (Jill), but rather than be lovey dovey throughout the movie, the climax part where the guy messes up comes within the first 10, or so, minutes and then he for the rest of the movie is trying to win her back.
Aside from that, we have Angad's big party, a day after David messes up with Jill, if not that night, and this is when everything gets weird for a meteorite hits earth.
This meteorite, seemingly, makes it so everyone who goes to Angad's party, or attempts to, ends up getting a doppelganger.
Thing is, these doppelgangers are part of some time paradox so they are always about ten or so minutes behind the originals, but coming close to the present quick.
You could possibly consider it a thriller, but it doesn't feel like the film is that serious; you could call it a romance, but considering how twisted it is that seems like it isn't the best choice; and at the same time there isn't anything to really fear so it isn't a horror.
At the same time though, the movie can be quite predictable.
Having everything take place during a college party made things feel very familiar, and having the weird best friend, well in this movie's case: friends, also took away from the appeal.
My biggest issue though is the ending since after all the buildup, things just end and though there is shock and horror on the casts' faces, I didn't leave the film feeling all the interested nor affected.Overall: TV watchingBeing someone who sees far too many movies makes films like this leaving you feeling indifferent.
While it was decent, it didn't quite pan out and hit the expectations I had for the film.While the foundation for the story is interesting as a concept, the story itself is pretty sloppy and lacks a lot of development that it sorely needed.
These matters aren't helped by some pretty subpar acting and special effects that are just barely passable.However, even with its problems, the concept of "+1" is pretty cool and when the story actually has all of its stuff in order and in pretty little rows, it plays out nicely and took me on a strange mind-trip and left me pondering the events that I witnessed as the credits rolled.As it stands, "+1" feels like an adaptation of the first draft to the film's script and it makes the film pretty average but also pretty watchable.
It looked like "Groundhog Day" except that  the time leap led to a double.
Rhys Wakefield is the sucker that actually just wanders around  at that party the whole time, looking for his girlfriend Jill so he can  apologize for the mistake he made.
Eventually I hope I will never experience a time jump that brings me  back to where I started watching this movie..
This plot tool allows the story to explore a couple of different and very interesting ideas.
I must admit though, that face suited the story in The Purge because those characters needed to look a little strange (or is that...
I only wish the party goers looked at themselves with love and friendship rather then being scared and thinking they wanted to hurt them.
The first half is like Buffy with Boobs - something for the guys & gals, a little shy lesbunism, the world turned upside down - although nothing too dangerous, things will work out in the end.
The meteorite has caused a time shift where the party goers have doubles who are 15 minutes behind, at each light flicker the doubles catch up.
it is not scifi, not horror, maybe a frat house movie but just has goes nowhere, at times we are hinted at a back story which might have saved the movie but this is never developed.
A few feel great to be alive; many are still reeling from the horror with blood on their hands.------Scores------Cinematography: 8/10 Mostly OK, except for some of the low light scenes.Sound: 4/10 Unbelievably poor.Acting: 5/10 Not very convincing, except from the actors who looked like they were 25 to 30 years old.Screenplay: 7/10 Fairly good what-if movie.
