Jenni Devyn Worth seeing just to witness how winsome it is.

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.

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.

fairlesssam I enjoyed this movie, with a larger budget it could have been seriously good. The concept and story are pretty solid, interesting and engaging. The characters and actors involved were all very good and believable. I loved the whole idea with the tunnel which reminded me of Absentia which is a superb indie horror. A family move into a new home and soon after begin seeing strange things. The young child sees a man in a hat in his bedroom and the dad starts having nightmares about creatures. The older son returns home from college and connects with one of the female locals who happens to be the sheriff's daughter. The younger lad is drawn to a tunnel near the home, it has a memorizing affect on him.There have been many unexplained disappearances in the town and the sheriffs estranged wife is the subject of ridicule for voicing concerns about strange beings at the corner of your eye.It all reaches a climax after an initiation prank goes terribly wrong and it appears the sheriff knows more than he's letting on.Much is sadly unexplained at the end of the movie but all in all I thought it was pretty good.

gaetanif Yes, you have to be afraid, you will lose one hour and half of your time watching a low budget horror film with no real story. A town terrified of the shadows yet too stupid to turn on some lights. I saw many stupid films but this one is in the top ten. Only one question remains : who can rate 10 for that crap???
