05/13/2014 A rather strange little movie about a Minnesotan town, a wanna-be film maker, and the hole in the lake See more 06/07/2009 The filmmaker heads into the Minnesota wilderness to get to the bottom of a mysterious hole in the middle of an othewise frozen lake. This topic is to be featured as the pilot in filmmaker's TV show on quirky local lore. It sounds like a total snooze, I know, but this is a great doc, with the right combination of borderline insanity, the subject's last chance for professional success, narcissism, Minnesotan deadpan, and luck. See more 11/01/2008 Mockumentary has a hilarious concept, but it doesn't exactly follow through on it. The first half or so is very smart and funny, but it gets a bit tedious and repetitive in the middle and meanders off track by the end. More of a character study of an obsessed filmmaker than a comedy about filmmaking, it may have been better served as a short film - there isn't quite enough material even to fill its 80-minute running time. See more 07/05/2008 I didn't even know this was a documentary until I looked it up on IMDb after it was finished. This film was definitely something different, and almost reminiscient of the guerrillacore concept. I thought the film was interesting enough, and I'd probably watch the TV series he was trying to develop, but his obsession with the topic of the pilot episode is just insatiable (and never in a good way). See more 06/20/2008 A cerebral Blair Witch Project sure to interest indie film buffs and psychology majors. It might have been pretty spiffy metahumor if the cameraman, rather than Karpovsky himself, was credited as the film's writer/director. See more Read all reviews
