This movie is not near a 10, nor a 1. People are really crazy with their reviews out here in these streets lol This was a decently entertaining movie that was a mixed bag as far as pros and cons go.
It was definitely a bit slow in the first half. It felt like they were trying hard to be atmospheric and tension building... but it more made for awkward moments and a slow pace. Regardless, it kept your attention and was intriguing. I did not however like how they very quickly showed the "monster" in broad daylight... I feel like they shot themselves in the foot with that as far as the opportunity to expand upon their creep factor went (also something about the costume looked a tad silly as well)
About half way through was when things got a little more exciting, but it is also when the story started to fall apart a bit. Not horribly in a detrimental way, but to the point where I was just lightly confused for the rest of the movie lol
The movie looked great minus a few night scenes that were just too dark. Also the casting was great. Everyone did a solid job and I really didn't notice a rotten one in the bunch.
Now, the ending... or lack there of. This ending is going to piss a lot of people off because there isn't much semblance of one. I can already hear all the angry 1 star reviews saying that this is a waste of time. It is not a waste of time... however, you do leave it feeling a little unfulfilled and gypped in a sense.
With this ending and the entire production as a whole, I do feel like it didn't quite live up to its potential. I think the foundation was there but maybe the execution lacked, creating some detrimental disservices that it didn't quite bounce back from. The ending almost had me knocking it down to a 4, but it really was a decent, middle of the road production. Would recommend.
