+1 [2013]

Director Dennis Iliadis' frightening sci-fi/thriller +1 is like taking Can't Hardly Wait and twisting it into one of the weirder episodes of Fringe.
The idea of watching two realities collide is intense when it's well done, however +1 keeps getting good then falling apart then good again.  It's a bit of a rough ride with an insanely cool idea that completely falls apart by the end.  I suspect they didn't know what to do with the story for a complete feature length and probably would have worked a lot better with a good 20-25 minutes cut out.  Still, the curiosity of how it was all going to play out kept me entertained till the very end.
