11-11-11 (2011) - Nov. 5, 2011
About a tortured author who travels to Spain when he finds out his father is on his deathbed; meanwhile, he starts seeing some creepy figures and wondering about the significance of the numbers 11-11.  Features some surprisingly decent direction from Darren Lynn Bouseman (though since the only films of his that I've seen are the increasingly abysmal Saw II, III and IV, there's really nowhere to go but up).  Though Bouseman doesn't do as good of a job with the characters/plot as he does with maintaining a general sense of tension and dread, the film is fairly creepy and pretty much entertaining throughout, though it does feel a bit disjointed at times.  I also wasn't crazy about the over-the-top and kind of confusing ending (the film is already quite over-the-top, but the ending definitely kicks it up a notch).  **1/2
