Written and directed by Chris Eigeman. Starring Travis Tope, Haley Ramm, Gary Cole, Dylan Everett, Jake Manley, Vinson Tran, Clark Backo and Jacinda Barrett.
Plot: Jude (Tope) and June (Ramm) emerge into a dangerous alternate reality after playing Seven in Heaven.
Jude is dating Nell (Backo), but Derek (Manley), his bully, still “forces” him to play Seven in Heaven with June when they all attend the same party. Inside the closet, Jude and June do nothing but sit there almost completely silent. But when they go to leave after the seven minutes are over they find themselves in an alternate reality where June’s sister tries to kill her and Jude is accused of murdering Derek.
Mr. Wallace (Cole), the school’s guidance counselor, knows about the alternate reality for some reason and knows that they’re both in the wrong place. So, he wants to help them get back. Sort of.
It’s crazy shit. The things that happen seem so random. It doesn’t feel like a cohesive story. And it’s NOT a horror movie. Not really. It’s barely a thriller. We did LOL in parts, mostly because of Kent (Everett). Also, the acting was quite good. But DJ particularly is tired of non-endings and felt that anything good about the movie was cancelled out by the crap ending. We do not recommend.
I suppose I could list my favorite movies here, but instead I'll give you a strange glimpse into what makes me TaraRomero.
1. My favorite place in the world is Atlantic City. The food, the smells, the beach - I love it all.
2. I am particularly good at crafting. Especially scrapbooking and cross-stitch.
3. I am mixed. My dad is black and my mom is white. I'm very proud of both sides of myself.
4. My favorite food is either the cheesesteak or the hoagie. Not the sub, not the grinder, the hoagie. Totally different experience.
5. I have a number of pen pals I write snail mail to. We exchange stickers and little gifts sometimes, too. I have an extensive sticker collection.
6. I just reconnected with my father after 15+ years. It's going great so far. I've missed him.
7. My brother is my best friend, hence the reason we do this together.
8. I don't have a favorite book. I like too many to have a favorite. But Paul Zindel is my favorite author. Stephen King and Jane Austen are close seconds. I know, eclectic.
9. I'm not very religious at all. I consider myself agnostic.
10. I would say that my most prized possessions are my dogs, but I don't consider them possessions. I consider them people. They are my people.

Just the title tells me this would be one to skip. After this review that deal is sealed so thanks for saving me some time on a flop.
