A little too short and underdeveloped, but it's still a haunting and intense film. Bickford and Bennett in particular give excellent performances and there is some very striking imagery whose haziness matches the inner demons of Ryan's character. Very well executed, if slightly unsatisfying resolution too, which is representative of the whole film. It's very good but needs a little more of all those good pieces to be great.

The film has a lot of psychological angles and is anchored by three strong characters with fine performances by Ryan, Bennett and Bickford. However, the story just never takes off and seems to float around without a destination. The emotions bubbling under the surface rarely materialize into compelling plot material and I was fighting boredom a lot of the time. I also found the cinematography uninspired (except for Ryan's surreal nightmare) and the score far too oppressive.
