Cassidy Way finds it difficult to measure in comparison to other dark torture thrillers/horror. The premise was actually not a bad idea, a gas Company wanting to buy the land with their fracking project, yet the execution is poor and a silly would be putting it mildly.
The main antagonist (Christopher Rich) is good in parts although he seemed a little over the top at times, not sure if that is deliberate. Sydney Sweeney has a part to play as his daughter in what can only be described as a typical Sweeney role. I felt the acting from the dysfunctional family was often on point, however the main three protagonists making the short film didn't really feel overly interesting or compelling. (Randy Waynes) character just come across as obnoxious as the love triangle was revealed.
Overall a very average forgettable film with basic cinematography and a little too slow from the word go. Annoyingly it feels better on the third act but it's all to little too late, I would be surprised if anybody made it that far. A little too far fetched at times and rushed in places.

Someone actually put together a thriller-gore about hydraulic fracturing, aka 'fracking'. As an obvious B-movie/film school project with some sort of budget, it apparently tries to be something worthwhile or even original, like a cult first or something. The base premise does make sense: fracking is dangerous and destructive and comes with an array of negative environmental impacts, like water pollution, random earthquakes and abuse of land, but having people go Dahmer because they drink their shitty tap water is ridiculous. Had they cast the great Gary Busey as the patriarch, it WOULD have become an immediate B cult. The family nymphet is yummy, while the girl who "has trouble getting close to people" by sleeping with both a guy and his friend is to Acting what Trump is to Subtlety.
