I've been known to criticize horror films due to lack of character development.
Well, 'Greetings' gives us every thing we could ask for and more in that department. Unfortunately, that's about the only positive thing about the film - the horror/suspense is nonexistent, thanks to the surroundings, or lack thereof. The surroundings are entirely way too closed in, and the boogeyman here, is the true definition of low budget. Our not so friendly visitor is borderline NO budget, actually. And the way of dealing with IT, is beyond ridiculous. Probably the most ridiculous solution in a horror film I've seen in a long long time.
Random Ramblings of a Madman: 'Greetings' starts off entirely way too slow for most horror fans, and while intellect is a nice thing to see/hear from your cast, you really have to have a solid villain to fall back on, to make up for what fans in 2014 desire most - breasts, stupidity, and more breasts. You can tell the director of 'Greetings' has long reached middle age, and his way of doing/seeing things, just won't cut it in todays film. If he ever invests in an imagination, he could put something out worth watching.
