Very slow, not like trailer at all, Not scary

predictable twist, slow, the trailer fabricates scenes, and then I realized they literally showed every single scare in the movie in it. Reward good horror movies with your money but this really isn't one of them. Enough with the americans don't know horror argument. This was not scary at all. Enjoying a boring uneventful movie doesn't make you smart. Watch it follows, or House of the devil if you want something a lot better.

Too extremely slow! The only exciting part is at the end and for a very short amount of time... I wouldn't recommend it... Plus, everything is very predictable minus when they go in the boat which lasts 15 min (lol) I was expecting a movie with a meaningful message, which it kinda is, but for me, I've seen it all and I'm looking for more expansion in consciousness and not too simple and basic movies.

I was really disappointed in the pace at which this movie crept along and I really expected it to be funnier. This is clearly a case where the funniest parts of the movie are all put in the trailer. The characters were all really boring and stereotypical and I kept waiting for something to happen and this movie just never turned the corner. I think Justin Long is hilarious in Zac and Meri Make a Porno and I would suggest skipping this movie all together and renting Zac and Meri instead if you are looking for a funny adult comedy.

Unfortunately, although the setting was creepy and the acting decent, the film itself fell flat in every other respect. In a horror pic, I do prefer mood over action, slow boiled tension over cheap scares, but here there was absolutely no tension whatsoever. There was nothing really at stake. I also enjoy carefully planned ambiguity, and seeing that word along with 'conceptual' in so many reviews below, I was hopeful. But the concept is poorly thrown together, very loose and without lasting impact, and there is no real ambiguity present. Questions, yes, but not ambiguity (there's a big difference between the two). In general, it felt like dime store philosophy trying to pass itself off as 'deep'. Trust me, there's no actual depth here.

The skeleton of the plot sounds intriguing: a nonbeliever, who was brought up in a torturously religious household, returns to his dead mother's icon-cluttered home. It's supposed to be about loneliness, about regret, about the distance between family members, and about whether faith is a waste of time or is grounded in the real. Instead, we get some vague clamor about a cult, some CGI creature that looks like a cross between a werewolf and Golem, and a sullen man pacing a big house making stupid decisions at every turn.

If you like your paranormal drama (it's not a horror film) to pretend to be about something without actually succeeding, then you might enjoy this film more than I did. At least it's not a gore or jump-scare based movie. But without the gore and scares (and tension and plot and honest character development), I'm not sure what would be left to find satisfying.

Not that much of a plot, not very funny. The trailer showed all the best parts.

It was too hyped up.  I expected more from the movie, but was greatly disappointed.  You basically saw most of the action in the trailers, which ruined it for me.  And I thought the Jeff Bridges acting was too flat.  The story was thin, and the action/special effects were good for the most part, but I left feeling very bland, I wish I would have waited for the DVD release.  Waste of money if you ask me.

When I watched the trailer for this I thought it looked like Training Day Lite, in reality it shouldn't even be mentioned in the same sentence as that movie. Rampart is a hard to follow movie, about a cop who crosses the line and then continues his downward spiral throughout the movie. I found it boring, with very little action and a complicated plot to follow. The acting was solid, but if you want action don't look here. Don't be fooled by the trailer like I was.

So incredibly BORING! Wow, does this film DRAG. Terrible fx. Looked like rubber dolls. The worst part of this film other than how slow it is, the "acting"! If you can even call it that! I don't expect much from low budget b films like this, but WOW. I cringed! And not at the gore, because that was nothing to cringe over. Luckily I watched this on YOUTUBE for FREE. I was SHOCKED to see it selling on here for $25?! I feel sorry for anyone who wasted their money on this, and even more sorry for those that actually thought this was good.

I remember being excited about this movie when I first saw the trailer, but after watching I think the trailer was better, at least it was short and showed all the interesting parts. This was not a terrible movie, it was watchable but it felt bland and there were really no surprises, half of it was chase scenes, I felt as if I was watching a remake of "The Fugitive" or something, and not to mention Nicole Kidman's frozen face - I think some emotion and wrinkles on her would make her look human, instead she looked more alien than half the invaded bodies. I never saw the original but half way thought the film I asked myself - what is this movie about? It didn't feel that it was about anything; sadly it was people going though actions with no juice and energy behind any of it.

This is something that I can see myself watching once but never again, the character development was completely non existent, even Daniel Craig was lacking, he looked washed out and bored to be there, there was no passion about anything whatsoever.  I also felt disappointed by the ending, it disintegrated any hopes of this movie packing a punch, at least if it was horrible and gruesome and wild I would have felt that I watched something, instead it felt like a lukewarm leftover lunch that I ate only because I didn't want to throw it away.

The trailer made seem like something I may be interested watching. All highlights of movie were in trailer, with NOTHING ADDED. May be interested turned into a few mins of my life I will never get back.

I was excited to watch it, but was thoroughly disappointed. Very slow, and uneventful. My opinion, of course.

This may be a great movie for 7-8 yr old boys, but should be described as such, not as an overall family movie.  Did not live up to its trailer or the description of the movie.  Very slow. We finally turned it off mid-way through.

While the CGI/special effects was pretty good, story wise it was mediocre. The trailer for the movie was actually more exciting than watching the movie itself.  I rented it on Amazon and I don't regret it, but I expected better.

VERY slow moving, not engaging or really very thought provoking either, weak acting performances, and a weak plot. These weaknesses combined to give a hard time to choose between 1 star, 2 star or no stars if it was possible.  I usually like Sci-Fi, this doesn't really cut it as a Sci-Fi. Completely unrealistic storyline. And this is coming from someone who is generally looking for the good, or the positive in a movie, you just don't really find much to work with here to be positive about. Look for something else, IMHO.

I question my judgement when I actually pay for films that don't post a trailer.  Had I seen the trailer to this movie I am quite sure I would have never rented it.  I lasted 27.37 minutes in before giving up the ghost and counting my losses.  Spare yourself and just don't.

I get what they were trying to do here... mimic a time when films weren't taken as seriously and had a bit of fun.  I love these old 80s slasher films, that's why I watched this one.  But it is SO SLOW and has NO TENSION.  Not to mention the kills consist of panning away from the person dying (who by the way, is NEVER NAKED) and splashing a handful of blood on the grass.  40 minutes in.  That's not a kill.  That's some trivial high school bull.  This movie does indeed mimic old 80s slasher movies, but not the good parts, only the bad, sad boring parts.  Stay away, unless you're having trouble sleeping, this'll help you right along.

I was waiting for this to come out but for some reason Walmart had it already, so I picked it up. I am very forgiving with Sci-Fi movies in general and have even been known to enjoy an Asylum title or 2. That said, this one is bad. Not even funny bad for those that like that sort of thing, just bad. The trailer looks ok, even with the hint of wooden acting, but the real thing is just un-watchable. I rarely write reviews but felt I needed to warn people about this movie.
