A deeply oddball, and pretty entertaining low budget mash-up of character study, humor, and metaphysical horror. It's not like anything you've seen before, but it achieves that effect by taking a LOT of elements you've seen before, and having fun combining them in novel ways.
A young guy - Michael - who seems to have his life pretty together goes out to try and save his depressed, meth-head, gun loving friend – Chris – who is living alone in the middle of the woods. The unanswered question of who took the video of this Chris acting so crazy sets the tone for this film full of unexplained weirdness that creates a generally tense and creepy atmosphere despite any clear resolution to many of the questions (that's only one of several meanings the pun-laden title seems to have).
Much of the film is the relationship between these two men, and how Chris reacts to being forced to go cold turkey after Michael handcuffs him to a wall pipe. Both the acting and dialogue wavers between fun, honest, touching and a touch amateurish. Chris has one of the easier, least believable sudden withdrawals from serious addition I can remember seeing on film. But this film doesn't seem too worried about being real. It seems far more interested in being entertaining and leaving you wondering just what things mean; that old, creepy photo, the escapee from a local loony bin who knocks on the window at night, the fact that they are on Indian lands with a bad history. Do these things mean anything? Or do we just assume they do from a lifetime of horror and suspense films? The film-makers aren't always saying, they want us to wonder for ourselves
and to smile while we shiver just a bit. I'll be curious to watch this again. It seems like a repeat viewing will either reveal its shallowness or uncover hidden depths

Plot summary
Soon-to-be-a-dad Michael makes a last ditch effort to save his longtime but addicted friend Chris from a foreseeable drug related death. Visiting Chris and handcuffing him to an exposed plumbing pipe, Michael forces his buddy into detox, but while watching over his friend he also discovers that all is not right within the territory Chris has drifted into. Situated on Indian Reservation land, the area seems to attract a number of strange people. Someone or some thing has a longtime interest in recording activities in the area, all captured on a variety of recording devices (CDs, film, phonographs, etc.). Michael comes to understand he's been pulled into the latest "story" of an unseen entity, one with a grizzly resolution projected for him and his pal unless they can possibly work out their own agreeable alternate ending.

Funny, mysterious and odd
Good Acting for a Scary Movie
Michael Danube (Peter Ciella) received a video of his best friend Chris Daniels (Vinny Curran) having a bad drug trip. Mike also got a map of Chris's location. Being the good friend he was, he went to where Chris was to try to force him to sober up. He handcuffed him to a pipe inside an empty abandoned home and told Chris that he had seven days to sober up. Soon Mike started receiving more images and videos of Chris and himself that were up to the minute footage. Who or what was making these videos and what did it want?
Not much goes on in the scary department, but you do get to see a friend trying to save another friend from himself. Unlike most scary movies, the acting in this was pretty good, even if the story wasn't the best.
can anyone explain how it got a rating above 6?
Okay, what is this, This flick was recommended to me as a horror you need to see , so I did but for me it was just a waist of time. Nothing is really happening except a lot of blah blah and some footage found , weird as it looks but towards the film you will get it as did the story but by then, nothing really happened except a visit now and then and then again blah blah.
Some even found it funny, not for me, nope this wasn't my cup of tea. Sad to say, but bring as hell.
