Primer

This week my suggestion is a real low budget movie: 2004's Primer.
-
It was written, directed by and stars Shane Carruth. And he managed to make it for under $8,000. Needless to say, you won't recognize any of the actors.
-
Without giving too much away, it's about 4 guys who use their spare time to invent stuff in their garage. Their latest sci-fi-like contraption threatens their bonds, in more ways than one.
-
This is a good movie. It is slow paced, but stick with it. It's intelectual and realistic for a sci-fi based concept.
