Not a terrible effort, but it fell apart toward the end with the twist-ish ending. The concept and setting were suitable for the film, but the acting was a bit over the top, not allowing each character to fully develop.
<B><SPOILER></B> Later in the film, we learn that Sam was not engaged to Clayton, her "fiancé" who died. She had said no to his proposal, so I believe a plot summary needs some editing.
