Watch Artifacts For Free

This story has more twists and turns than a second-rate soap opera.

The acting in this movie is really good.

This is a gorgeous movie made by a gorgeous spirit.

This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

I do have to say that I am instantly intrigued by and endeared to movies whose endings get people angry. I don't know why. So when I hear of one I try to seek it out and see for myself. A great example is the zombie movie Automaton Transfusion, another very low rated film/movie/trash morsel on IMDb. (possible spoiler) The ending there was hilariously on a dime(End possible spoiler).This movie I liked. The opening left me a bit dubious, low budget and all, but it has some fun ideas ripped of from higher budget movies. If I were an investor in this movie, and it broke even, I would definitely invest in their next project.

The movie's only an hour and fifteen minutes long, and a portion of that's taken up by the end credits, so it's very short. The end credits mention something about a Belgian Tax Shelter, which may explain this movie's existence.The DVD cover, incidentally, has nothing to do with the film.It did actually hold my interest up to the "ending." People are being killed by their doppelgangers, who appear accompanied by odd static. The police find metal "artifacts" in their bodies. There's an amusing web search at one point where the heroine searches for "artefact in bodies" or something like that. That would bring up a lot more results than she gets, and she actually finds more or less what she was looking for.But anyway, in the end the artefacts and the doppelgangers are not explained. Nor is the non-explanation satisfactory in any way. I might have given the movie a 6/10 or 7/10 if it sustained the interest with the ending, but the failure to have a resolution really damaged it for me.The special feature indicates this was shot in 12 days for $100,000 with a cast of 10 and 20 locations. It sounded like they originally wanted the actors to work off the synopsis rather than use a script. For a movie on a limited budget with a limited shooting schedule, that's a real mistake. The dialogue and acting in the film is actually fine, it's the plot where the film falls flat at the end, with no wrapup. I'm not really sure where the $100,000 went. Maybe just towards paying the cast and crew? They do blow up a car....The special feature does offer a very little additional information about two of the characters that one could not possibly get from the film. However, the director either really did not have an explanation, or plays coy. Supposedly, budgetary restrictions kept them from offering a real ending. They're open to the possibility of a sequel or a remake. I'm doubtful whether they'll get that opportunity.

There is nothing good or enjoyable about this film. Shot somewhere in Belgium with American actors or Europeans trying to put on American accents (I heard slips here and there)this flick initially looked like it may have some potential. I'd say within the first 2 minutes I realized that I may have had a better time just taking my rental dollars and flushing them down the toilet. This movie was dumb, dumb dumb! Again, the actors (lol) took this script so seriously and try so hard to deliver academy award performances. Awkward dialog (of what little was said), terrible music sound track which was primarily made up of loud drum beats and electronically processed noise, all mixed together to bring you one of the worst and disappointing films made in years. Lots of running in between buildings and no horror scares at all. The ending of this film was probably one of the most self serving and poorly written I've seen in a while. Amateur film making at it's worst. I wonder if anyone at RedBox actually watched this movie. My advice to RedBox is too pick better movies!! Watch them first before you place it for rental in your vending machines. We can forgive BlockBuster since they have a huge selection and there's bound to be a bomb here and there but RedBox has a miniscule selection and should be more careful.

I rented this from Blockbuster through the mail, since my local store does not carry it. I rented it despite the low ratings here on IMDb, mainly after seeing the trailer for the movie.This was not a bad film at all! In fact, I rather liked it. The story was interesting. There was plenty of suspense, and just enough gore. Sure, they might not have ended it so abruptly, but all the questions this movie leaves me with gives me something to think about. There is a lot left to the viewer's interpretation.I enjoyed it, and recommend the movie to you. It won't win any awards, perhaps, but it is worth watching.
