...but after that there's not much to get excited about. And correct me if I'm wrong, it was a concept that he and his brother came up with together, right? His brother wrote a short story using the concept and he made the movie, right? So it's not like the concept belongs entirely to him, either.

And yeah -- I'm sticking to it, the movie really falls off once you get over the novelty of the concept. And yes, making a movie stick entirely with one character and entirely with one POV shouldn't be that difficult for any self-respecting film student. Just watch Rear Window a ton and then go make your movie. I'm goddamn serious about that.
