This movie is weird. It's not particularly frightening, so if you're looking for a scare, this isn't it. It is, however, acceptable fluff filler for those times when there's nothing better to watch.

The first time I watched this, I didn't get it. The second time I watched this, I got it. It was just weird. I remember when I first saw the trailer, I really wanted to watch it. When I actually did watch it, I was disappointed that it wasn't how I thought it would be.

There are many things not too great about this movie. The story doesn't really make sense to me and dialogues were often stupid. But I think it still works in some ways. Throughout the first hour or so, they managed to create a really creepy atmosphere, even though nothing really happens yet. I liked that. Disappointingly, then it becomes just weird.
