This has Bruce Campbell and it uses the seamless shot technique like in Rope. It sounds interesting and I like Bruce, is it any good?

I haven't watched this since it first came out (a year ago? two years?), so my memory is a bit fuzzy, but...

If you like Bruce, you should definitely get this. I rented it when it first came out and liked it enough to buy it the next day. The plot is very interesting and the acting is fine. The shooting technique is exactly like ROPE and is pulled-off well.

There is also an entertaining commentary track (that includes Bruce). You know that any track with Bruce will be entertaining...

I'd definitely recommend this one. In fact, you've just inspired me to watch this again soon.

IMHO it's better than Rope. Rope is just in one room (ok several rooms, one set) Running Time goes all over the place. W/ Rope you can tell where the film ran out since the camera zooms in on someone's back and then pulls out. They did a very good job of hiding the edits in RT. Again, if you like Bruce get it, if you like "gimmics" in films get it, if you are so-so about these things rent it first, it's atleast worth the watch.
