Hey guys,

has anyone seen this film? I want to share it since I recently saw it and was blown away.
It is a low budget production, the whole plot takes place in a small room. So if you prefer special effects and lots of action you will probably not like this film.
What makes this movie so special are the dialoges and a great plot. It's hard to tell something about the story without revealing too much. You have to see for yourself
I recommend to watch it without watching a trailer or informing about the story, it will definitely make the film even more astonishing. There is a high chanche that you won't be disappointed, actually you would be the first person who did no like this film I have seen

This movie is not very known among the people(exsp. in europe - no translation exits yet, and I doubt a europeen cinema has/will show[n] this movie). The movie got very popular in the internet because of file sharing sites which spreaded the movie to the internet. The author was thankfull about this free promotion and thanked the illegal website for promoting his film.(you can donate on the http://www.manfromearth.com/ )

And don't forget: If you do not read the reviews before watching it, it is even greater.

regards,
Skalde

I saw it a long time ago. It's a great movie. Low budget but with good actors is quite rare.

EDIT: And yeah, the movie is better without knowing the plot

Thanks for the tip! I just might order it... I suspect it's one of those you can't watch twice but I may give it a shot anyway.
