I have to admit, I only found out about this oddity, because I was looking for the way better known "Don't look up" from 2021. But this popped up as one of the results too here on imdb and reading this being a horror my interest was piqued. And since it was available to rent on Prime, I thought why not and here we are.
My story aside (I wonder if yours is similar), the movie has quite a few flaws. But it also has an intersting cast - and an almost completely miscast Eli Roth in one of the roles. He was far better in Tarantinos movie - and of course behind the camera as a director. But his contribution is minor and probably only a favor - or maybe just a fun cameo day at the set.
Whatever it was, the rest of the cast is quite convincing too. They may be over-explaining certain things (like certain film related stuff that they should know anyway, but they elaborate because of the viewers), but they seem to know what they are doing ... are they also too deep into it to realize many things are wrong? Or is everything a trick of ones mind? If only ET was here to help ... I'm not even sure if everyone will recognize Henry Thomas from the ET movie - doesn't even matter.
Not the best horror I have seen, but most definitely not the worst I have seen either ... effects are nice, considering the budget.
