    Sincere effort hampered by plodding script

    Clearly the writer and the performers are trying to convey a lot of deep feeling here, but there's no real spark. The story moves like molasses for an unsupportable length of just shy of two hours. There are a few bright spots that are almost interesting, but they're swallowed up by an opaque plot and a lot of rambling dialogue that required the services of an objective editor.

    Not atrocious, a learning curve

    Very amateur movie relying on girls with long hair and eyeliner wearing Hot Topic clothing. If a normal adult woman had a missing child would they wear Daisy Dukes and full make up? Grow up. Terrible. I think all involved have potential except the costume and make up departments. If the people making this want to make soft blue movies, fine, otherwise get a grip as you almost had a decent horror film here. Decent plot and some Decent actors but quit the goth stereotypes and ridiculous Daisy Dukes, so sad, definitely men behind this...don't you think? Seriously? And would that creep REALLY have a hot girlfriend? No.

    How is this rated 7????

    Bored from the moment I started watching it. Horrible acting couldn't stand to complete watching it. Seems like a first time for the directors and actors. Hence I have it a 3 star for effort. Other than that seems a waste of time.

    Horrible in EVERY Way

    So this movie is really bad.

    First of all it's slow. And it doesnt need to be because it runs nearly 2 hours and the hands of a capable director it could have been cut to 80 and tightened.

    But the director is an abject amateur. Really should not be making movies.

    There is no tension whatsoever in this movie, which is slower than mollasses.

    Plus, the acting is sub-par.

    Don't bother. It's a poorly made bore.

    • Quotes

      Madeline Tanner: Bri, I always told you I'd protect you from anything--even the monsters.

      Briana Tanner: But who will protect you from them?

      Madeline Tanner: If they took you from me, I' going to find a way to stop them.

      Briana Tanner: You can't. You'll just end up trapped. That's why Hannah was looking for me. They can't keep me forever, but if they get you, that's it. You can't escape. So please, Aunt Maddie, you love me, don't you?

      Madeline Tanner: Of course. All my heart.

      Briana Tanner: Then do what I ask and go back.

      Madeline Tanner: I can't. There's nothing for me to go back to--not without you.
