Zev Don't think that this is just another silly teenage sci-fi/horror flick. The writing and ideas are original and interesting, and the movie leaves you thinking.It does start with typical teenage nonsense, including a young couple that reach a crisis and are about to break up, and a debauched party that includes tons of sex, nudity, alcohol, strippers, flaming tennis balls, and Nyotaimori (naked sushi). But even this party has a purpose in the overall plot.A meteor hits, and strange things start to happen. To explain further requires spoilers.*spoilers* Doppelgangers start to appear, seemingly slowly catching up in time in a weird time-loop. Are they aliens taking over the world? Evil ghosts? They seem to act just like the originals and even repeat everything the originals did. And this is even scarier to most of these insecure youngsters who see them as aliens, or as copies of themselves that will take over whatever lives they had, or as threats to their individuality, or, worse of all, as a mirror on how lame they look, especially when they see themselves doing the same silly things they did 10 minutes ago.Which explains why most react violently, and which also provides for a priceless ending reaction sequence.But one secure girl that hates the rest of her peers has the opposite, slightly disquieting reaction to her copy. And finally, one guy manages to exploit the phenomenon in a very dark way to ensure that reality goes his way...There is also fun to be had in the tightly-plotted time-loop and overlapping of events and reactions from the various copies.Altogether, an underrated sci-fi movie that does what it should: explore humanity through a bizarre idea. Definitely worth watching despite the low rating.

callanvass David (Wakefield) makes out with another woman in front of his long-time girlfriend, Jill (Hinshaw) and gets dumped in the process. David shows up at a party to try to get Jill back, but there is a little detour along the way. People show up at the party that look EXACTLY like everybody else. It's been a few months since I've seen this, so forgive me if my review is a little crappy. I didn't mind this one at all. It borrows a lot from stuff like Invasion of The Body Snatchers & Night of The Creeps though. I wouldn't call that a bad thing, as it was a nice little homage. This is also a decent homage to the 80's. This didn't feel like something that was made in 2013. This felt like it was made in the late 70's, early 80's. It focuses on fun, first and foremost. It even throws in a tragic love story. My big issue was that everything was quite vague. Not enough is explained for my liking. I had fun, but more explanation was very much necessary. It doesn't have the script to be ambitious like it wanted to be. Gore lovers will be semi- pleased. We get Stabbings, bullet to the head, rake to the eyes, and more. Not a gore fest, but good enough. Acting is quite solid. Rhys Wakefield is a creepy looking dude, but very likable at the same time. I was on his side the whole way on his journey to get Jill back. Some of you will recognize him from The Purge. Ashley Hinshaw's actions are frustrating to deal with, but understandable. She ended up winning me over in the end. Rest of the cast is fineAs long as you don't expect the world, you should have a decent time. It's fun if you put your brain aside for a while and ignore all the plot-holes. 6.3/10

RevRonster On paper—or in text form on a computer screen—"+1" is interesting and is immediately promising all kinds of potential for a strange and potentially terrifying odyssey. While it was decent, it didn't quite pan out and hit the expectations I had for the film.While the foundation for the story is interesting as a concept, the story itself is pretty sloppy and lacks a lot of development that it sorely needed. Characters lack any real defining characteristics and aren't developed as strongly as they need to be. Additionally, the story itself can't quite decide who to focus on or how to unfold at a pace that doesn't feel like it is needlessly panning itself out or like it is lost with no real clue on where to travel next. These matters aren't helped by some pretty subpar acting and special effects that are just barely passable.However, even with its problems, the concept of "+1" is pretty cool and when the story actually has all of its stuff in order and in pretty little rows, it plays out nicely and took me on a strange mind-trip and left me pondering the events that I witnessed as the credits rolled.As it stands, "+1" feels like an adaptation of the first draft to the film's script and it makes the film pretty average but also pretty watchable. There's no point in denying that I thought it could have been a lot better but, with the nature of its story, it could have easily been a lot worse.Salutations, fellow IMDb-er! My name is Rev.

robert-rhys It seems that most people that watch this film misunderstand it. The duplicate characters are not aliens or doppelgangers, they are exact copies of the primary characters, only shifted in time. This plot tool allows the story to explore a couple of different and very interesting ideas. The broad exploration is a philosophical one which delves into the nature of humanity in regard to people's reactions in an unknown situation. These reactions range from fear-induced ultra-violence to harmonious contentment. The other idea that is explored is on a more personal note. What if we were given the opportunity to change a mistake that we made and that we regret with all of our being? Would we let our fear rule us or would we be able to seize that opportunity and forge the destiny that we desire for ourselves?
