I want those 2 hours of my life back

Well, what is there to say. It's a poor man's David Lynch movie. First of all, if everything seems weird to you, no matter, it is all explained away towards the end. Oh, there are some unanswered questions, but if you choose to ignore those it's really quite straightforward. Pretty cheap, but at least they don't spell everything out for you, a la Vanilla Sky.
The amount of peripheral plot lines that don't do jack annoy me. There are some cute biblical references in there, but it hardly adds anything substantial.
Some people like to pretend that there are multiple explanations. They can go ahead and think what comforts them, but it's crystal clear to me.
It's not funny, not particulary clever, not scary and silly.
I do like the 80's music though ;)
I thought it was a big dissappointment, such an uneventful story with a pretty standard (though still un-Hollywood) ending. Yuck.
