guitargirl-44720's rating
I didn't check reviews before watching this film. Glad I didn't. It's much better than the 5.3 rating IMDb lists. Surprisingly good, actually.
The beginning of the film had me wondering if it was going to be a dud, but it soon took off into a pretty good thriller/horror film. The plot kind of winds you along in a great way. You have that uneasy feeling where you want to tell the people 'I don't think I'd be doing that if I was in your shoes!'. Which, I guess means they succeeded at having you care about the characters.
The story was quite creepy and well done. Much of the bloody stuff that could have easily been overdone wasn't; it was done just right. There was enough, but not too much. Most of the creepy factor grows in your own mind as the tale unwinds. I think this is another area where this film succeeds very well; like the great movies of old, it shows you enough but also leaves enough to your imagination to make it much scarier.
My husband likes scary movies, but I really hate 'slasher flicks' and prefer psychological thrillers, so finding one that works for both us is challenging sometimes. This one scored high for both of us. Much better than the IMDb rating leads you to think. Don't let the rating, or the first 15 minutes fool you!

I wish I'd read Paul M H's review before spending time on this film. His review describes this movie perfectly. The story is weak. The scenery is weak. The actors tried, bless their hearts, but there really wasn't much for them to work with. It was hard to care about any of them.
There really isn't much else to say about this film, except that you may do better find an alternate.
I would stop typing, but IMDb won't post my review because I didn't provide enough sentences/characters. So I will type on to save someone else 89 minutes of life that is better spent elsewhere. I would prefer to keep this short and sweet, but, alas, the website will not permit such brevity.
So, if you like weak stories, dark and simple scenery, scripts that don't set the scene, unbelievable characters that come from nowhere, have at it!
