Decent But Was Expecting More

Rating: 6/10 (28 October 2009)

I enjoyed the cool sounds effects like you can really feel the bass go right through you and the realistic acting (even though the roles weren't hard to play)I feel it really is one of those films you can only enjoy at the cinemas, unless you have a sick setup, if you watched it in a proper auditorium in the dark on a cinema screen then I believe it would scare the hell out of you and me.
It had no hold over me emotionally and I found it really hard to submerge myself into the film to make it feel believable and put myself in one of the characters shoes because there was no tangible storyline and weak character development IMO.
Character development would have gradually given me a better understanding of them so that I am able to put myself in their shoes and even though it was realistic, it was boringly realistic and the characters didn't put their emotions in enough perspective for me.
You can tell the general script and storyline wasn't very well written or original, maybe it wasn't meant to be(nothing more then I'd expect from a low budget indie film) if a film like this attempts to play with your emotions/fears then I feel like it needed a little more uumf if you know what I mean, there was too much subtleness, cause at the end I was left thinking is that it ? Was quite disappointed in the ending, it didn't reveal enough, and was kind of supposed to let the watchers imagination do all the work, maybe this film will be more scary to people who are more open minded to the possibility that supernatural things are real (whereas I'm not), wasn't my type of film.
