Rating: 7/10 (26 March 2015)

I actually enjoyed it. It was pretty tense when it wanted to be and the atmosphere was pretty suspenseful. Very little jump scares unlike most horror films these days and more among the lines of the terror that could happen. Had a bit of a late 70s/early 80s tone to it as I was somehow reminded of Halloween. I can't help but also wonder if Twilight Zone was an inspiration. There was just something about it felt like it could be among those many scenarios. Scary, subtle, fun, though leaves you questioning some of the film's standards of how this particular monster works specifically beyond the explained rules. How does it kill? Thrusting your leg aggressively? At some points it makes no sense, or at least to most horror movie standards but this only makes it interesting to question more (should there be a sequel) should you be one like me that overthinks such topics. And seriously? Kids, what is the deal with your logic? I know you're teens, but geez. Some of the choices, guys... not sure which is dimmer: your choices or the gloomy camera lenses. ....Clearly I was somewhat invested in these characters haha. The music was interesting to listen to-- old electronic synths mixed with a bit of spooky ambiance. Occasionally there are sounds reminiscent of a Super Mario game and bled a sense of John Carpenter somewhere in our midst. Overall the the film is clearly flawed in it's way, but still manages to keep an interesting, surreal take on the genre.
My rating? A C+ Worst. STD. Ever.
Now for my major question: Where do I get myself one of those seashell eReaders?
