Scanialara You won't be disappointed!

InformationRap This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.

Fatma Suarez The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

Marva It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,

Invader Xan The unfortunate thing about this movie is there are some genuinely good elements in it which were utterly wasted on a forgettable story.The cinematography is great. Scenes are (mostly) well shot with some interesting artistic flair. The way the camera work is done for some sequences is distinct and memorable, and reminded me of Stanley Kubrick in places. The handheld camera style at tense moments uses the same trick as with found footage movies, making you feel closer to the action, and almost making you feel like a character yourself at times. It's just a pity that during the more tense action sequences, they resorted to clichés like shaky cam and inexplicably flashing lights.The setting also has a lot of potential. A remote, isolated house by a lake, surrounded by snow, giving a real sense of isolation. Unfortunately, that feeling is completely squandered in favour of the house's dimly lit and claustrophobic interior. And then at the end when you realise that a neighbouring house is not actually very far away.Unfortunately, all of this setup eventually gives way to a lacklustre story which seemingly makes up for a lack of substance by making nearly every scene far too drawn out. Everything goes on for just a little bit longer than it needs to and it makes the whole movie feel... tiresome.To be honest, it felt like half the movie was a long shouting match between three dysfunctional siblings, full of ultimately inconsequential information. I found myself wondering at one point if the plot was ever going to progress beyond three people standing around yelling. It eventually did, but this whole thing amounted to very little beyond an overlong setup for the disappointingly brief section of actual horror. Which would have been more impactful if the scriptwriter had given us any reason to care about the characters.The ending felt tacked on and contrived, thanks to a complete lack of foreshadowing or setup. Or maybe it was buried somewhere in the scene with all the shouting? It's hard to say.Ultimately, this movie felt like a waste of time. And there wasn't even an actual pod anywhere to be seen.

larryy Most of the film is like a loud, bad soap opera with characters you couldn't possibly care about yelling at each other for reasons you couldn't possibly care about. Bad script, bad acting, bad direction. Don't waste your time.There was some oddly nice cinematography, suitable for a nature documentary. And the score was surprisingly good. It's a shame some genuinely eerie, dramatic music was wasted on people knocking on doors and windows, wandering aimlessly around, staring intensely into space, driving, walking, doing absolutely nothing of interest, ever.Written, produced, and directed by the same guy. It had to be, because if anyone with taste, talent, or even a light touch of sanity had been involved they'd've prevented this schlock from being made.

jzimmermanuscg This is my first IMDb review; however I'd like to think I'm a film aficionado with good taste in movies. I'm the type of viewer that, if watching from home or online, I will only give a movie a few minutes to catch my interest before turning it off or switching to something else.I thought this film was extremely well-acted, well-shot, and just overall well-done. The scenery and setting of the film was outstanding. The cinematography was great, and the acting was very well done as well- especially from the character Martin. The movie had a unique plot, and the antagonist was very unexpected. If I wanted to dig real deep, I might actually be able to find some sort of political statement being made about the effects of war on our veterans, PTSD, and the harsh methods that are sometimes used to treat them; but that might be digging a bit too deep. My only complaint is with the arrival of the final character. His acting, though brief, was the worst of the bunch; along with his $5 Walmart walkie-talkie, cliché trench coat and fedora, etc. The ending of the movie is definitely a cliffhanger and more than invites a sequel.Overall, I thought this was a pretty good horror/sci-fi film (leaning more toward sci-fi), and most definitely worth a watch.

assistec24 Acting : zero of 10. Script - the same. A less then low budget B-movie, something like the 1 hour of 12 years kids playing Halloween with a camera in a bad day. All the movie are 3 peoples acting not just bad but terrific, a shaking camera, red lights or no light at all, and 2 more peoples with 2 minutes roles each; all common places, no ideas at all, nothing original and just an awful movie. I can say its the worst movie of the year, by far. I give 1 star, but the real value should be 10 negative stars.Save your time and take the kids to a walk on park, or the dog - no matter, anything its better then this 1 hour + of torture.
