Highly Overrated But Still Good

It's a mild crowd pleaser for people who are exhausted by blockbusters.

The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

Complete trash. Stupid. Bad actors. Dumb plot. Horrible script. No redeemable value whatsoever. Should have never been made. Utter rubbish.

Before I get into anything I need to say that I think there was a good idea for this movie. There is the hint of a good movie trying to get out of it. But the movie we got was so inept and so bad that whatever chance it had died an early and forgotten death. In other movies where there's a supernatural kind of killer there is always a backstory. There's a reason for the killer to be so crazy. Not here. We're told of a guy that killed a bunch of people for speaking the name of this entity. That's it. That's all the backstory we get. Well, not exactly. There's a librarian who later on is only there to provide exposition. In a less clunky movie they would have found a better way to provide this to the audience. A bunch of college students move into this house because it's close to campus, it's cheap and they want to live together. They find an old nightstand and in the drawer is written over and over again the lines don't think of it, don't speak of it over and over again. Ripping that paper away we see the title carved into the drawer. It had to be because otherwise there literally would be no story.And once the name is spoken weird things start to happen and that's basically the movie from then on. It's not coherent as to what is happening, it's just stuff. The man that killed the people at the beginning is just there with no real connection to the supernatural killer. At no point is this scary or thrilling or anything other than you want these kids to die because they're so annoying. This is one of the best examples of a January movie. It came out after the holidays. It's dumped into theaters because they need to show something. It's a PG-13 movie to get all the kids to go see it. And it's just something to be avoided.

Don't waste your time, it's just awful, terrible, bad movie. The acting was bad, plot was bad, everything was bad.

I picked this up from Pound-land on Blu Ray so I was not expecting much.The story is a pretty generic Nemesis style horror film.
Something nasty is coming for our main characters and it doesn't look like it wants to make friends.I actually really enjoyed this.
The production and direction are pretty good as is the acting.
The majority of the jump scares and creepy moments land effectively and my interest was kept right up until the end.This movie is unlikely to blow your mind but it is well made, does the job and then ends before it out stays its welcome - what more can yo ask for?
