GamerTab That was an excellent one.

SnoReptilePlenty Memorable, crazy movie

Nessieldwi Very interesting film. Was caught on the premise when seeing the trailer but unsure as to what the outcome would be for the showing. As it turns out, it was a very good film.

Josephina Great story, amazing characters, superb action, enthralling cinematography. Yes, this is something I am glad I spent money on.

GL84 Trying to gain her psychology master, a student suffering from night terrors as well as several of her friends learn that they're being triggered by a series of attacks brought by creatures living in the shadows and must find a way of stopping them from continuing to hunt them.This was a decent if overall rather forgettable effort. Among the few things it does right here is really sell the idea of the strange creatures and their world they represent here that there's a great framework needed for horror villains. The idea of marking their prey through night terrors as a child and then coming back to collect them as adults is quite an effective idea, and the rules needed for them to become viable once again makes for a rather enjoyable creature here. From their ability to tamper with electricity by causing blackouts or surges enough to break the light altogether or the way in which they create a sense of loneliness in their attacks, it has the sort of general fear and desperation of being attacked by that kind of entity. Likewise, beyond this setup there's also the film's incredibly fun and frantic attack scenes of the creatures getting into play here as this one has some awesome scenes here, from the swimming pool encounter and his scenes in the apartment to the absolutely stellar stalking scenes in the tunnel after the train trip all being fast, frantic scenes that are much better than expected. Still, that's also what signals the start of the flaws here as these attack scenes are so haphazard and tame that there's very little appeal to the scenes as they're so bloodless and utterly devoid of any kind of true horror appreciation since they're edited to try to be chilling but can't because of the rating. Not having any kind of blood or gore in here during all these different attacks is an immensely distressing factor here by this one never really getting any kind of big effect which sells what's going on as it misses the big picture of the scenes. There's also the fact that there's such a discrepancy with the scenes here in being long, involved scenes compared to the other scenes which are fast and really crazed that it creates a really disjointed pacing of making the action scenes look good until the kills and has long, bland scenes in between them. The last flaw here is the creatures' lack of explanation for appearance here as there's never anything given about why they target the people, how they work or anything about them and it makes them far less frightening. These here are what really holds this one back.Rated PG-13: Violence, Language and Brief Nudity.

Michael O'Keefe Pay attention to THEY; this movie actually is worthy of your efforts with just enough scare factor. Julia Lund(Laura Regan)is a pleasant psychology grad student that keeps in contact with several of her childhood friends; they all have something in common...as children they had frightening "night terrors". Julia's boyfriend Paul(Marc Blucas)is a medic by profession and feels he is of sound mind; but begins fearing Julia's sanity. One of her friends, Billy(Jon Abrahams), fears that his nightmares have returned and ends up dead...suicide is out of the question. When the lights go out, monsters of the mind come out to possess victims. Julia is determined to keep the lights on and rationally figure a way to harness the "night terrors". It is said that at times Wes Craven is given credit for this project; but in actuality he contributed nothing toward the movie. Other actors credited: Ethan Embry, Jonathan Cherry, Dagmara Dominczyk and Marc Blucas. Some real scary scenes and you can't help but get a little jumpy during the final twenty minutes or so of this chiller.

chillis-796-360101 The camera work on this film is gorgeous--you feel almost every moment as if you are immersed in a dream-like/almost waking state along with the main character, never quite knowing what to believe. The problems come with the complete mistrust of everyone around the main character that she has any credibility at all--when she tries to assert the idea that something not-so-normal is happening, NO ONE in her life believes her, not even the man she loves. The woman is one step from her Masters in Psych--you would think she MIGHT know a thing or two about delusions! Now, on to the effective moments...and there are some very effective moments. We feel the dread the characters feel who are suffering from the revisiting "night terrors," and we feel the main characters increasing panic as she realizes what's next for herself. When these people are creeped out, so are you.The "gotcha" moments are worth putting up with the little problems...give it a shot.

drew petersen This movie was very cool. I think that it is one of Wes Craven's better films. It wasn't cheesy like 'People Under the Stairs'. It was a solid horror picture. It was suspenseful and mysterious and gave me a few scares and thrills. The concept was cool and the scenery and ambiance were eerie and creepy. It was a B movie but the quality of the film and story and acting were that of an A movie. This is a sleeper movie because a lot of people have not heard of it. It has a low rating on this site because there seems to be a lot of sci-fi and horror movie snobs on this site that prefer artsy overly intellectual movies. This is a solid horror film. I liked a lot and I recommend it to you.
