This movie is not for hard core horror or sci fi fans.
This is not your typical horror/sci-fi, as evidenced by some reviewers complaining that this movie was "boring". I have to disagree! It wasn't boring to me, but it isn't really a horror/sci fi either.
As for me, I appreciate and like a story that takes time to allow us to get to know the characters and has a slow burn while increasing tension.
The acting was very well done. And I grew to like and enjoy this group of friends. This story had a Stephan King, feel, to it for me. (His earlier works) I believe this was more of a drama with supernatural flavors, rather then any other category. (There was a bit of blood and violence at the end. Just not much)
The sci fi part of it was realistically based and was simply but effectively portrayed. It made me really think about possibilities!! It is a very well done movie, just put into wrong categories. Reviewers are expecting different genras. Thus, IMO, the lower ratings.
With-in 40 minutes of the movie, we have a solid foundation of the characters and an indication of what the main character is experiencing. And the pace sped up from there.
I thought it was a worthy watch, and recommend it to viewers who don't need a lot of action or gore to be interested and entertained.
