I'm normally a pretty strong M. Knight fan, even for those tepidly received films like "The Village" and "The Hppening," which I honestly still enjoyed and appreciated quite a bit. Josh Hartnett's good acting couldn't save this. It was mundane, predictable, and just exceptionally unremarkable. And an FBi profiler with a British accent giving banal "tactical" direction to a SWAT Team moving in on a serial killer??? With 32 years in law enforcement, 22 of those at the federal level, that completely derailed credibility for me.... Since when is the FBI hiring elderly non-citizens to direct tactical teams??? Come on M Knight, you are way above this level of product.

Overflowing with horror tropes... predictable ones at that. I felt like I was watching a 1980's film student's first effort that was somehow stolen from a cardboard box in the back of his/her grandma's house where it had been hidden out of shame for at least two decades. On top of a largely unexplained and inexplicable underlying mystery which seemed like a drunken mixture of Men in Black mixed with Pet Cemetary....

Cap this all off with a completely confusing and open ended "finish" about as creative as a nine year old dould imagine on a bad day. Ninety minutes of your life you'll never get back. Play a board game or clip your nails instead.
