One of those movies that you love that you're pretty sure you will never watch again. Don't want to get caught in a loop.

Total spoiler ahead: good low budget sci-fi movie with a supernatural tone of cosmic terror, wrote by Justin Benson and directed by him and Aaron Moorhead, that also are the protagonists. It feels like a good old episode of the X-Files

Basically it tells a story of two brothers (Benson and Moorhead) that never had a good life and once they tried to live in a sort of UFO cult life while child in Arcadia Camp, a place in Southern California where time doesn't like to be what it is usually and strange things can happens.

Slowly as the days pass, the strange phenomena starts to happens more and more to them and they discover that the place is actually a mini pocket dimension in the middle of a arid zone where circular pockets of space time and an invisible multidimensional creature lives roams around and time reset (in the most horrible ways sometime) over and over, with their dwellers dying and living over and over.

Yup, to me the definition of living hell. This is not clear since the beginning  only starts around middle run of the movie to pick up till the end in the lines of low budget good idea productions like "Project Almanac" (2017), "Primer" (2004), "Synchronic" (2019). Low budget effects that works really pretty well on CGI and a semi-amateur cast that acts like real actors turn up the movie a little bit.

The imagery and music from the middle on gets you with a music with  a synthesized score that samples "House of the Rising Sun, images of 3 moons (where if the third one turns full you get trapped in) and several other hidden shapes of invisible circles.

With a better writing probably it would be a better movie, but it became a low budget cult movie anyway (no pun indeed): I would give it a 7,0 out of 10,0 score / B. 

It isn't something new but it is told you in a new way.
