Wrecked: An Absorbing Trapped-Actor Micro-Thriller

I personally was compelled by the texture of this movie. Low tech? The dried blood, swollen wounds, bloodshot discoloration in his eyes, even IN the eyelids (in extreme close-up) etc.... Low tech? I didn't see anywhere that it lacked the proper technical bells and whistles to forward the story with a sense of authenticity. As for the decomposition.. wow! i guess the hollowed out eyes,, needed maggots emerging? No, as far as I'm concerned, the movie was compelling. The only thing I can say I agree with Richard R Szerlong, is that I too, at times, did get confused about what was or wasn't real, but basically kept pace with it. The confusion on our part was probably deliberate to get us in the character's hallucinogenic state of mind? Idk.I think the actor, director, producers etc were outstanding. But then, I don't watch movies a lot, so what do I know?

The movie Wrecked does seem to be a low budget production not requiring any special staging or special effects. The dead bodies do not show signs of decomposition after several days of death. This would make the story more authentic, more gory and more horrifying. The scenes have left me confused at times about what was real and what was imagined--two different escape sequences and an imaginary dog that never existed? An unaccounted (at least to me) return to the wrecked car following the first escape sequence. (Was the first escape purely imaginary?) My mind operates in a logical way, so it was difficult to make sense of it all. Other than that, I get the hallucinatory female figure. The cougar seems authentic and feeds on dead bodies. I had no idea the cell phone worked in the end. Other than all this, the events with the flashback tie together.
