As long as you don't invest too heavily in its early promise, you'll find it a passable piece of entertainment.

The premise may seem simple, but the story is an involved one with great characters and developments.

B-

You might not have all the pieces fitting perfectly, but hindsight quickly fills in the blanks. That's a testament to an underrated script and a deceivingly worthwhile film.

This movie is an FU / 10. The opening 45 seconds are cool but after that it’s two hours of dry dialogue setting up a garbage ending. The writing, acting and twist ending sucked harder than the toilet in an airplane bathroom. Would rather gouge my eyes out with forks than watch this garbage again. After watching an hour of dribble I skipped 45 minutes and still missed nothing. Dumpster film. This movie was so bad I was compelled to log in to this site for the first time in years just to write this. Pure trash.

This movie has a lot of potential and some great aspects; however, in the end, I found it disappointing. It is a thriller that reminded me for the forts 2/3rds of a sort of re-imaging of John Carpenter's Halloween. There are some visually cool and scary moments. The characters are good and the acting solid, mostly. The problem is the payoff feels like more of an attempt to just create a "twist" ending rather than a natural progression of the story. Some positive stuff but felt disappointed.

This was not a good film, don’t go by the 5 star reviews. It’s not a "thinking" movie. They (other reviews) want to make you feel "dumb" but this film was dumb. The plot was all over the place, no "connecting the dots BS" as other reviews mentioned. Such a poorly executed film. Boring.

Movie had some potential to be decent but midway through you realize this is no different than a Tubi Movie. By the end of the movie it feels like they threw in a bunch of scenes that were not coherent and had no relation to the entire film. No twists in this one either, very flat movie with some bad acting and poor character development.
