I was reading the graphic novel Ultrasound the other day and, after I was done and was working on the EYG Comic Cavalcade, I realized that there was a movie based on the graphic novel too. In fact, it was being filmed before the graphic novel was released.

I found the movie version on Hulu and I was excited to see if the movie was as much as a crazy ride as the graphic novel was. And the short answer to that question was… absolutely.

According to IMDB, “After his car breaks down, Glen spends one hell of an odd night with a married couple, setting into motion a chain of events that alter their lives plus those of several random strangers.“

It is difficult to go into any details on this movie without spoiling things… even if I was sure what exactly had happened. It did help that I had read the graphic novel because it helped me see what was going on at times. The movie was a fairly honest adaptation of the graphic novel by Conor Stechschulte.

Performances were all solid, even though I did not recognize any of the actors. Vincent Kartheiser played Glen and Chelsea Lopez played Cyndi, the main two protagonists in the film. They do a great job of carrying the strange story with these characters whom you are never sure what they are like.

It felt like a low budget independent film at times, but it moved well and it does a really good job of telling this challenging story. I see on IMDB that Conor Stechschulte wrote the script on the film as well as the graphic novel so I can see why it was such a honest translation.

Good sci-fi thriller with a mind bending story.
