Can you see me? At its core, Purgatory House is about a lonely teen searching for a connection. It is a philosophical film that inspires conversations about the choices we make in our lives, and the results of those choices. Sometimes it seems like today’s society can value “things” more than people. We worship beauty and violence, and then wonder why our kids are expressing themselves through mind-numbing drugs and eating disorders, and by showing up at schools with guns. Are we losing touch with each other? The media has become our children’s babysitter, role model and higher power. Purgatory Houses are here on earth. Can we help our kids find the way out?

My Reaction Is Not In Limbo With the recent passing of Robin Williams, depression and suicide have become hot button topics in the media. In Purgatory House we delve deep into life after death, more specifically what happens to those that commit suicide. The overall theme of this movie is.. suicide IS NOT the answer! However, it's not balled up in a quaint religious package or in the guise of propaganda. This is a subjective view of how an "easy out" has disastrous consequences. Kudos to the 14yr old screenwriter for consistency in this lofty depiction of the after life. Purgatory House is riddled with intricacies and subtleties. Once here your body can handle as much drugs and alcohol with unyielding tolerance. All of your habits from earth transverse into Purgatory House. You walk in with the clothes on your back, and in your hotel room is a big screen tv with only 1 channel.. earthTV. Here's where you can watch realtime activity of your friends and family back on .. you guessed it - Earth! The one thing I took away from this film was the underlying factor of Hope. No matter what difficulties you face, if you ride them out - you just may weather the storm. No easy answers and there's no quick fixes.

Loved it! I rented this film last week and I am telling EVERYONE I know about it! Original, thought-provoking and just plain excellent. I could relate on so many different levels.

Dynamic Especially for a Teen Writer Maybe people have seen the movie, 13, and thought it was intense. I know I did. But, this, also, is another one of those teenage angst movies written by the teen herself and suffice it to say holds some very intense emotional turmoil in it as well as a few head-isodes, you won't want to miss. The trailer doesn't do it, you have to just watch the movie.

This is something you must see! This is something you must see! I was pleased to see this on release after I saw it at a film festival screening. It would be such a shame if it had gone the way of many films and disappeared. I cant wait to watch it again!

Its like 2 boring Boooooooooo !
