I am rapidly becoming a fan of Andrew Baird who can take a (very obviously) low budget and turn it into a supremely watchable 95 minutes of cinema. I actually like what I would consider the B-Movie genre because I know there are a lot of people out there who want to make a good flick but are limited by budget and time and yet can still squeeze through a bit of artistic spark that has moments of brilliance that you might not see in the 150 million dollar Marvel movie this summer. This movie doesn't amount to much in terms of story but provides good performances by the entire cast in a low-grade well-intended thriller. I've seen Colson Baker perform as Machine Gun Kelly live in concert and he is a genuinely good guy (and performer) so I'm already on board to see his acting career take off. And - credit to Baird as a director - I like movies that don't go for the loud, explosive finish but keep the tension right up to the end. I wish all of you the best - Andrew Baird, Colson Baker, Storm Reid (Kevin Bacon - LOL) - keep doing what you're doing and I will keep watching.
