Ultrasound is a trippy sci Fi flick, but it doesn't use expensive CGI or action set pieces to blow your mind. Instead Ultrasound uses interesting writing and ideas and good character work, to mystify and intrigue. If your a fan of low budget films, than check out Ultrasound.

Twists abound. Very similar vibes to "Primer"; good writing, deliberate pacing, low budget, excellently filmed, great casting, believable performances. Vastly different thematically but similarly, if not more, disturbing.

This movie is a complete mess. It starts off good but then goes off the rails about halfway through. The actors did a good job but no amount of good acting can save such a terrible script. Theres too many plot holes & by the end too many things were left unclear, leaving the audience to guess whats going on. Its not real sci-fi either. They would have been better off making a thriller.

This is not a very good movie, it's flawed and sometimes the pacing makes you bored, especially in the middle. However, these moments don't last long. Overall, it is a good sci fi movie, which does something rare: It doesn't leave questions unanswered. It's a solid movie with a strong script, not ambiguous like most of the movies nowadays. There is cohesion here, a beginning and an end. Movie mysteries hold your interest and, most importantly, are being explained. Characters are likeable and you feel their agony. Of course there are limitations due to low budget. A good movie which most of sci fi fans will enjoy. 6.6/10.

Nice premise, great acting, interesting dialogue, and overall a solid twist on an old concept. The film never felt over-stylized or artsy, no pseudophilosophy, just human emotions. Loved spotting some of the details as well. This has the potential to become a good series for streaming, I hope this idea can be elaborated on, mainly due to the fact of how open-ended it felt. Overall, while the ending still left me somewhat confused (in terms of the chain of events and how these were connected), I thoroughly enjoyed this. Definitely could recommend this to low-budget sci-fi/thriller fans.

This is a complex story that jerks you around unexpectedly, and I guess it might depend on your mood whether it loses you. If not, you'll realize nothing is what it seems to be, and that this turns out to be an amazing story, and you'll appreciate the great acting and thoughtfulness needed to pull it off... which I think they did. This isn't a 2+2 movie; it's a 2+2+2+2+1+1+1 movie in which startling revelations (no really) caused me discomfort and amusement. Well done.

It's one of those films that hold your attention, expecting something great to ultimately happen, only to be let down with a cluttered, convoluted, incoherent and incohesive story. There was just no reward, and it looked like a bunch of screenplays were thrown in the shredder then randomly taped together. It tried too hard to be smart, and lost focus on any character development to align with the story. Then add the terrible pacing to the convoluted plot's 103 min runtime, and you'll be begging for something thrilling to happen quick so the film can end. Why would the producers hire an amature writer in his first screenplay, and not at least have a seasoned writer look it over? Schroeder's directing was adequate, but what stood out was the cinematography and score. The only convincing performances were Kartheiser, Lopez and Qualley. Everyone else, especially Wool, were stale and seemed amateurish. Maybe part blame goes to Schroeder's failure to direct his cast properly. It's too bad, this film had tons of potential. It's a 6/10 from me.

This film is not for people who prefer generic characters, straightforward plot lines and tidy conclusions. However, there's an intelligent concept at the root of it all and skilled execution for those who like to be kept on their toes with lot's of twists, and creative camera angles and scene transitions. Like some of the characters, the viewer is deliberately kept off balance at the beginning but for good narrative reason. Mixed but mostly excellent performances from the cast. Let's be honest, this film has been made on a low budget: some scenes could have done with another take, the "futuristic" devices are decidedly unfuturistic, and the pacing in the middle gets a little frustrating with too many revelatory scenes all at once towards the end etc. But the ending satisfies and leaves room for the viewer to ponder long after the final credits have run.

Watching this movie, it's very hard to tell what's real and what' not. Very creepy, disturbing and entertaining! I love how it toys with you. Cast gives fantastic performances! Awesome soundtrack! Awesome cinematography! I just can't say enough about it. Really fantastic movie!
