DISQUIET (2006) DVDrip Xvid torrent

I saw this very low-budget American indie at a festival in San Francisco last summer and I thought, given its limitations, it was quite good. But I\\\'m a bit of a science fiction nerd (and Doctor Who fan!), so it struck more than a few chords with me.

This is a DVD rip from a home-made DVD+R that the festival was using for press screeners.

Darren Prager is an aspiring writer who finds himself completely unable to comprehend the intricacies of human behavior. Obsessed with finding the key to understanding the nature of character, he turns a co-worker\\\'s family into the unwitting subjects of his new project. Darren\\\'s own humanity is soon put to the test when he goes beyond observational research to the realm of gross violation.

A remarkable self-made film that is as witty and intelligent as it is unnervingly creepy, Disquiet is an all-too-uncommon example of what was once the vision at the dawn of the digital video age -- that any potential filmmaker with talent and desire could grab a camera, corral a few friends, and create a masterpiece.

Writing, directing, acting, editing, supplying the props, the locations, and so on, Disquiet's creator, Matthew Doyle, demonstrates an exceptional ability to sustain the intellectual values of a larger-budgeted feature through his deft imagination and jovial will power. For once, and it rarely happens with credit card-funded movies, the viewer is challenged by the emotional constructs of the narrative, rather than by the compromises of the production environment.

As for the 67 minute feature, you might wish Doyle had had the resources to embellish the beginning, but the plot is astutely shuffled to engage the viewer throughout, as it gradually reveals the inner desires of several different characters, culminating in the film's stunning finale, a tour de force piece of acting and directing that will disturb your sense of security forever after.
