So lets say you wan't to watch a horror/thriller/mystery movie... When the synopsis goes something like "10 friends go away for the weekend." There are a number of things you expect from the movie and somethings that you just hate they always do wrong with these kind of movies. Guess what... This movie has no faults, at least not in this genre imo.
The acting is surprisingly good, I like being surprised and these actors not only act well, but most importantly they don't overact. And the script is to thank for this, as Brian Austins Greens character is the sensible one and always steers the cast and movie back on track on every occasion it might have gone of track. And Brian is really good, I'm actually impressed.
There are no stupid female characters that take showers all alone in the middle of the night in this one. No bad CGI. No cheesy lines. The characters in this movie act like normal people do when strange things happen, thank god! Sure there are more or less likable one's but they do a really good job all the way.
This movie was a big surprise in that it is a good mystery/drama/thriller and it gets the tempo right. Suspense all the way through and I personally loved the ending. Which I must add I think most reviewers here have a problem with. This movie leaves the viewer with a lot of unanswered questions, hence if you can't handle those kind of movies, this one isn't for you. But this movie fits the genre 'Mystery' perfectly.
If anyone involved in the film reads this. Don't mind the low score. A lot of ppl. rate down horror-flicks because they expect so different things, its like comedies. You can never satisfy everyone, and most of the time just a few. BUT you made a great movie, it's really really good.
This is my first review and I wrote it just to tell people that this is so much better than the low score implies. This movie is more similar to Signs with Mel Gibson and Joaquin Phoenix if you wonder what kind of movie it's similar to, but with even less Sci-Fi. Although not as good.
Amazing. 8 / 10. Only way it could've been a 10 was if they had ten times the budget and some A-listers in the cast. But this cast, director and script writers made an amazing job.
