    Was this "movie" shot in a closet?

    If you're claustrophobic, don't watch this movie because the sets and setting occur in such constrained places that it feels like the entire production was shot in a cramped closet.

    In fact, don't watch this movie, period. Everything about it reeks "amateur night". Some might get a kick out of the really bad acting and unconvincing story but it's not worth losing 90 minutes of your life over it.

    David Heavener is some sort star in some people's eyes but for me he looks like someone who makes a living parking cars, which is what he's probably doing right now.
