Advanced screening was disappointing

Rating: 5/10 (1 October 2012)

Just went to an advanced screening﻿ of this film, it was extremely mediocre and tried to be a lot more than what it really was. It had entertaining bits, all in all, knowing what I know now I wouldn't pay to go see it. I found it hard to take Ethan Hawke seriously in this type of film, all I could picture was Training Day throughout (and the fact that he looks like a live action version of Gordon Freeman). When I saw the trailer I thought this had some potential, I don't find many movies scary these days but the Paranormal Activity films I found to be pretty creepy, so I was really hoping this might be one to do it for me, alas it was not. It was all startle factor in the placement of loud noises, the story was kind of ridiculous the closer it got to the end, I am sure some of you will like it, I however didn't really enjoy it.
