Story: Three friends discover a mysterious machine that takes pictures 24hrs into the future and conspire to use it for personal gain, until disturbing and dangerous images begin to develop, obsession become a deadly game that could be their undoing.

Likes : Sometime you don't need a high budget flashy sci-fi movie to make a good film as this film very well show's, this is a very weird but well written time paradox type film but instead of time traveling the whole story is around a machine that take photos.They waste no time in setting up the plot, immediately put you on the edge of your seat, and keep you there until the credits roll.
There is just something creepy about this film, as you see the character of this film act a normal life until they discover this machine then this film take on this sinister dark tone as you see the character becoming obsessed with with what they are seeing thinking its all fun & a games until event start taking of a darker tone.
 The cinematography is particularly incredible. The movie is confined to a single modest apartment complex, and yet somehow it is chillingly beautiful. I never thought a man looking at a bunch of Polaroids pinned to a wall would be the recipe for a spectacular shot, but somehow it is. I haven't seen a movie with this kind of creepy and eerie film for a long time its refreshing to see asci-fi thriller being so dark & creepy you don't really see the ending coming until you see it, what clever is you dont see what is happen until the ending this is the clever twist in the film that make this a very clever,well made made sci-fi film that i recommend watching if you haven't already.

Dislikes : The only thing this film dosent really explain is where this machine came from other than the fact it dose what it dose.

Overall : Clever time paradox time travel concept, worth checking out.

Rating: 5 out of 5 for entertainment / 8 out of 10 for concept.
