After graduating from college, a quartet of longtime chums (Briel DiCristofaro, Andrew Bowen, Michael Cade and John McLoughlin) come of age as their friendship ebbs and flows in this well-crafted indie drama about fraternity, loss and salvation. Directed and cowritten by Bowen, the film features a fine supporting cast that includes Timothy Bottoms and Missy Crider, who delivers an affecting performance.

This was a very touching story. A true story of brotherly love. It has a very powerful message even though the acting was a little lacking but in the end I was rather surprised and saddened by the ending. If you enjoy watching movies about growing up and growing through pitfalls with your best friends then this one is worth watching. These boys go through life together and grow together as they become men and make life's of there own. The boys grew in different directions but continued to stay friends till the very end.

I watched this one about a month ago. What i didn't realise was that this movie would keep me pinned to the couch for a couple of hours to the point where i wouldn't even want to go to the kitchen to make myself some coffee in case i missed any of the movie (im too lazy, so i couldn't even consider pressing the pause button on the video player. The remote control was lost so....). Anyway... The story behind the haven goes as follows: Four best friends grew up together. They were together since they were pre-teens and stuck together till after their college graduation. When they were kids, they discovered this ranch-like place called "the haven" and made it their special meeting point. The place was special to all 4 of them because it symbolized their brotherhood and soon became their protection. They had made it a customary practice to visit the place together and continued to do so until they were adults. Following their graduation from college, they continue to live their lives together under the assumption that they will always be together or will at least always be there for each other. However, as time goes by, things change. Their bond of brotherhood as sealed by the haven, slowly begins to crumble until disaster strikes into each of their lives. After the spine-chilling tragedies occur, the friends that remain live life in regret, thinking about how things could have turned out better if they had acted more responsively to their other 2 friends who lost their lives. They end up questioning themselves about the bond of brotherhood between the four of them and whether or not it became soo weak to the point where the haven stopped protecting them. This is a very good movie (if not spectacular)and i would recommend it to anyone regardless of what type of viewers they are. This one will fascinate anyone.

I agreed this one is a good one for anyone! I wasn't expecting much when I started watching it but was pleasantly surprised in the end.
