Just more grist for the mill. Completely forgettable, nothing unique, memorable, nor notable here. All of the characters are archetypes and the actors sound like they're doing a cold read sitting at a table. The writing is equally weak, with plot hole big enough to drive a truck through.
In the age of binge watching, I offer this: don't invest enough time time into this that you feel you need to see it through. You will be terribly disappointed.

Full disclosure: I was on the couch taking a sick day when this came on & it was broken up with commercials. I don't normally watch network TV specifically because of the ads...but that's another rant altogether.
I really wanted to like this but, truth be told, I'll watch anything that Karen Gillan is in.
The time shifting was the only real difference I saw between the essential elements of this and The Shining and it was an effective difference, though not enough to give this flick any kind of longevity.
Given the way the story built, by about 3/4 of the way through I was thinking "get on with it already". The denouement was predictable and was painfully delayed. Someone needs to re-watch Hitchcock to learn what suspense is all about. Or maybe they're pandering to a Saw/Ringu audience that no longer knows what suspense is really about.
Just more grist for the mill.
