Alan Wake?

First things first, i HAVEN'T seen the film (and judging from the other posts, i'm not sure i want to) but from the trailer, i was strongly reminded of Alan Wake.
The waking up in a car crash, not knowing what's happened or how you got there, piecing the story back together throughout, the forested small town setting...
Sure they're pretty tenuous links, but it was the first thing i thought of on seeing the trailer.
Obviously Alan Wake has the whole horror/darkness thing going for it which this doesn't but still...

Anyway just an observation, anyone else see where i'm coming from?

I just saw the movie, it has nothing to do with Alan Wake what so ever. besides the car crash, which is an extremely minor thing.

I'm mad I even looked on here to see a review of the movie and seen the title of your post. Without reading the post, to avoid sppoilers I thought it would surely be good. I wish I had read the post. This has to be the most horrible movie I have ever watched in my entire life... I no lie , fell asleep about 5 times while watching it, and kept starting it back up at the last spot I remembered seeing. There are MAYBE 10 sentences spoken through the entire movie, unless you count the guy screaming.

Like the other person said, this movie is nothing like Alan Wake.

******* could have some sort of spoiler *********

i don't get it why the people are complaining about the quantity of lines that are presented on this movie...

to be quite frankly: i liked this movie a lot!! the acting is really good and is very easy to feel and resembles the protagonist anxiety and despair... how on earth you should expect long dialogues when you are absolutely isolated?? why you should expect too much sense when you are almost starving to death, thirsty and with amnesia???

i think this movie is, until now, strongly underrated... it's a low budget movie, with no BOOMS or hot women on it, but the plot is good, the acting is superb and with a little of thinking and good will, some of the supposed "plot-holes" could be better interpreted...

cheers!!
