Wordiezett So much average

Arianna Moses Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.

Taha Avalos The best films of this genre always show a path and provide a takeaway for being a better person.

Rexanne It’s sentimental, ridiculously long and only occasionally funny

zombiefan89 Nothing you haven't seen done better in a dozen other horror movies. and then it just...ends. The actors do pretty good. Brian Kraus has definitely improved over his time on Charmed. I checked the spoiler box, but I honestly don't understand the plot enough to spoil or not spoil it. From what I gathered, it was about ghosts or demons that abduct children. It's really all over the place. It was not scary at all. Oh, yes, the monsters come from the closet. Because of course! Overall, the only thing I can complement is the acting. They did their best with what they had.

melindacrutchfield I kept getting irritated that the parents kept letting the kid out of their site to wander into the woods even after finding him each time in trouble IN THE WOODS!!! OMG! In one scene the mom chases down someone talking to her son to confront her, but then brushed her off when she tried to tell her what was going on! Pretty good main character, but the rest were just annoying!

jeffsuwak The complaints of the negative reviewers on this page are warranted. The movie sets up a lot of good character arcs and plot lines and then just leaves them completely hung out to dry. It's really odd that no attempt is given to explain the origin of the creatures or the town's predicament. However, the movie still scared the crap out of me. I suffered from sleep paralysis for years, however, and anything that even somewhat accurately depicts the condition tends to get under my skin. I feel like the movie underachieved in regards to realizing a potentially terrific story, exploring the importance and difficulty of family and the role of being a father. Still, the first 4/5 of the movie gave me legitimate willies. The end annoyed me, but I don't want to say too much about that and spoil it. When all is said and done, there were definitely big problems with the movie, but I have to rate it high, personally, because I spent a huge portion of the film with fear-electricity running all over my skin. If you've ever suffered from sleep paralysis, this film might trigger some serious apprehension. It did for me.

ausbt saw this on Netflix.I think what lets this movie down is the effort to link a number of monster/scary themes in one movie. If you are familiar with "sleep paralysis" phenomenon, alien abduction etc. you'll recognize that theme. However if you've seen Dark Skies and Nightmares, you'll know why this particular plot doesn't really work. The actors are doing their best with it plot/script wise and give great performances all round. The direction is classy but the story is very thin and I found myself about two thirds the way thru losing interest. Some of the elements might motivate a series - its kinda like a bad pilot in a way, though then again perhaps we've spared another endless series ;-)It's worth watching for the overall production value but if you haven't seen Dark Skies and Nightmare, watch those first.Aus.
