- Synopsis:
When a phone call from out of the blue brings Leo (Joey Millin) back into contact with his sister, Virginia (Madison West), long estranged from her family due to years of drug abuse, he arrives to find her alone in a bare apartment in the midst of an apparent overdose. After the convulsions and nausea subside, Virginia insists to Leo that she has been clean for eight months due to the help of a mysterious group. She confides to her cynical brother that her edginess and paranoia actually stem from a sinister ritual conducted by the group that took her in at her lowest and eventually revealed themselves to be a cult. This curse bound her emotions and physical sensations to a man she has never met before. With his marriage on the rocks, Leo has his own demons to face. Nonetheless, he is reluctantly persuaded by Virginia to embark on a cross-country road trip to track down this shadowy stranger under the caveat that if he's nowhere to be found and it's all in her head, she'll go to rehab. However, as their date with destiny draws nearer, Leo begins to suspect his sister's tall tale might have some substance. - Actors:

Dull Indie Road/Horror movie - Threshold review by GI
Shot entirely on smartphones this indie horror road movie is a bit of a chore. Admittedly it has a very good soundtrack, which occasionally drowns the actors, but it lacks a coherent script and as much of the film is of the two lead actors interacting together in their car it soon becomes tiresome. With the odd moment that makes you sit up and take notice the ending is inconclusive and a let down. Leo (Joey Millin), a man with his own family problems, is implored by his mother to find his estranged drug addict sister, Virginia (Madison West). he soon does and suspects she has binged on drugs but she claims she's clean but a strange group that helped her have fused her feelings and thoughts with a man who she must find. The siblings go on a chatty road trip in search of him. There's a couple of incidents on the way but for the most part this is the two catching up, arguing, laughing etc etc. It failed to interest me even when the climax threatened to.
