It is a good film!
One needs to be careful in these "interesting times", but perhaps "incandescent" might be a better word than merely "glowing"...
I just finished a movie called
"ADHD Is Necessary"
Honestly quite sad and made me cry a little bit.

Containment (2006)
Recommended by a friend when released. Never got round to watching, being long forgotten in a box for best part of 15 years, was still in the plastic wrapper LOL. Very much a budget film that I'm certain most are unlikely to come across.
Not going to say anything negative as you can see a lot of heart & soul went into the production on a budget of a well used car LOL. I'm just going to leave you with the directors (Chris Schwartz) comments on IMDB circa 2007;
"Actually, your perceptions are correct. About half of the cast/crew was composed of high-school students. We're a huge supporter of new talents, and though this reflects poorly on us at times, we believe that we'll find that undiscovered talent someday. Unfortunately, our budget was "high-school" level as well. And I don't like to film with a tripod, because I like the organic feel of a free cam. It more closely resembles life, which isn't mounted on 3 steel legs, and is barely ever stable (how's that for symbolism?). Yet, I understand that it looks unprofessional...hell it is unprofessional, but I like it. Oh, and we did use a consumer cam for the picture. We all agreed that the grainy, horrible quality fits this kind of production... guess we were wrong on that too. Good to know though.
In any case, I recommend watching this movie for the plot, story, and gore, not acting and technical aspects that unfortunately require more funding than we had. We were contracted to do a graphically situated B-movie with an interesting plot twist. I think we hit it. Follow the plot and gore.. It throws in some twists that you never saw coming, I'm sure of that.
Bear with us through the technical limits if you can. The acting gets better, if you get a headache, then take a break or take a Tylenol and come back. If you make it the whole way through, we'll give you a cookie, just for being a good sport....seriously
But I feel the real treat is in the story alone. Though that doesn't make a great film, at least you can follow the plot. Look at some of the other indy films out there...I suggest watching the movie the whole way through first, before condemning it. We had less than 1/3rd of the funding that the Blair Witch Project rode on. Please watch the 2 and compare. Then come back, if you made it through the BWP without tearing your eyes out. So try not to compare us with the million dollar or even $100k+ films. We're just another small company making a jump from commercials to film. And Steven Spielberg was out of the office during production
If this is the worst movie you've ever seen, I invite you to send me an e-mail, and I'll get back to you with a list of productions that fall way behind ours. If this is the worst movie you've ever seen, go rent 100 indy HORROR flicks with budgets under 100K and come back. Then when you whine about how bad it is, I'll listen. And hey, it's not the worst movie in the world...but it is funny how every "attempt" suddenly becomes the "worst movie ever" go look at the reviews on here. Just about every film is "the worst movie ever" in someone's opinion.
But thanks for the comments. We'll keep working on making better films. That's all I can offer until someone coughs up 1/2 a mil to fund us. Then I'll give you $50 to refund you if you still hate it and feel like it was a waste of your time."
TBH I don't feel that Chris's comments are too far off the mark. Have grown to like the film more over the years and one I dont skip. The association with my friend is also likely a factor who was probably fully loaded with the very finest gin of the day so Containment gets the pass...

Skywalkers: A Love story
a 2024 documentary about a Russian couple who are building daredevils
and their quest on walking the tallest roof on earth.
I do wonder if something like that should be filmed. How many morons watch it then think it would be a good idea to copy only to find themselves hurtling towards the pavement.
The Rocky Horror Picture Show
... “blitzed thru the timewarp again”!
In 1979 for 5 months in high school, 11th grade, I cleaned movie theaters .. including the Friday night and Saturday night Rocky Horror showing . Also saw it beforehand.. know every word, pause, and .... anticipation
People who’ve never been to a full on audience participtation event can’t imagine Rocky Horror during its hey day. Just fun.
seems to me that they should have better security guards and camera systems on these billion dollar buildings to prevent such tresspassing
before we witch hunt film directors and start banishing any free-form movie.

I saw that, saw it was real and was nope… nadda.. not for me… moving on.. 🤣
I'm not saying it should be banned, you are jumping to conclusions there. What I am saying is its existence is probably a net negative. How would the people who made the film feel if some suggestible teenager copies the Russians and ends up smeared over the sidewalk.
we need to keep things here in light perspective, since this is a forum about what we watch, not preach.
many movies fuel stupidity that humans copy like Rambo etc, and we don't challenge them.
Anyways I started watching "HoneyLand, first scene is a old lady walking 100 feet on a narrow path gathering honey combs with a large clumsy pack on her back...yikes!
Movie recommendations about someone fighting an evil corporation?
