Nice effects though.

The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.

Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.

After watching this film i immediately had to find out who made it , and find out everything else they had done....then, had to find out what all the actors had done...then i had to see what everyone was getting up to next.well, don't bother. save yer bandwidth. The guy who wrote it, directed it, and starred in it. Gavin Hefferman. 23 years old, took a year to complete between pre and post while studying. its filmed on digital with a 10k budget, using a cast of unknowns. I found this out after watching it.i think this is one of the BEST films I've seen this year. all the characters are totally believable, the script isn't far-fetched, but when its unusual or foreign, its still very believable. i think there's maybe 3 songs used in the whole film, and one of those is classical played on hifi in the script.I think if i knew how the film was made, and the budget, i probably wouldn't have enjoyed it as much, i would have expected more. but with out that level of expectation, trying to chop down a young filmmaker, i thoroughly enjoyed the whole moofee. i couldn't think of a fault now if i tried.I could write about details or plot or crap, (if thats what you want, read a different review) I gotta go and give friends my copy to watch......

I was astounded on how professional this movie was made with the budget it had. I wish Gavin the best of luck in the future. I really enjoyed the plot and dialogue, and hope to see more from him in the future. The dialogue sounded real, not forced. The scenes were laid out very well. The plot was easy to follow. The movie plot looked believable. It is amazing that the film was done by a college student with a lot of volunteers! Gavin, do yourself a favor. Get the Independent Film Channel (IFCTV.com) to air this. That should get the exposure you are looking for.

This movie is very good, and it has moments of brilliance. The best scene is the one on top of the building. The way the natural light and music and acting come together will stay with you for a while.There are two types of movies that I like to watch. They are either story driven movies or character-development driven movie. This one was an example of the latter. The characters were very well drawn and I felt like I knew them by the end of the movie.I highly recommend watching the movie with the director's commentaries turned on. He is extremely funny, in a humble, brilliant kind of way.

Dope fiends and the strange prowl the night, yet the normals often drop in for a visit. So is Expiration, a work of understated devililishness, probing into the depths of the putrid city streets after dark.Heffernan is a madman, one of which we need more of and yet one who must stand alone and be unique. He'll slaughter pigs by hand if it would make a better film, and that takes dedication and love and a fair amount of industrial strength glue in my business.Not to be missed, Expiration undoubtedly appreciates upon viewing, and I fully expect it's vintage to be prime in two to three years after maturing in French and American oak.
