Went to theatres to see this and I'm so glad it did - I think the jump scares (which there were quite a few) needed it. I understand this was more human/emotion based vs a monster flick but I found the story unbelievable at times (yes, even considering it's a sci-fi/fantasy film) and a lot of the meaningful scenes to be corny. I really wanted to like it but I don't care to watch it again nor recommend it. Without the surround sound, I think I'd find it to be relatively boring. Some good scenes though, absolutely. I also liked the premise of the movie, so it gets a mad average rating.

Went in with no real idea of the plot.. and just.. solid through and through. Tension..horror...fear... and characters you love (and hate). SFX were good and will age well and the story is original. I didn't know Justin Long starred, so that was a wonderful surprise. He brought his kind of dark humor vibe to his scenes which I will always love. If DVDs were still worth it, I'd have to own a copy. Can't wait to rewatch!

Came into this with no expectations and was very pleasantly surprised. Yes, all the tropes are here, but they are well-done. Good acting, well-written, nicely concluded... I'd watch again. Didn't feel corny at all and the characters are likeable, I was rooting for them the whole time. Many people will ask why the characters didn't just turn the lights on...but we see the monster pop lights and blow out flames, that's what makes it scary. You're only safe during the day (if even then). Good movie, worth the watch!

One of the best finishing combos ever. Amazing acting from the main character and her daughter; the story develops quickly and stays fast paced. Go moms✨️

Wouldn't watch it again nor recommend it. Slow, boring, predictable, cliché/corny, BAD script. The plot itself is nothing special and the ending nonsensical. I wanted to enjoy it, but couldn't. I always finish a movie no matter how bad, but..it was just so bad. When we met the initial victim and went to the mental hospital I knew it wasn't going to get better, but was still surprised at how lackluster it was. I wanted to like it and tried it because of the name drops of Final Destination and Lin Shaye , but no. Don't ever pay to see this movie.

I enjoyed this, was pleasantly surprised. It's definitely more of a slow-burn, creepy feel than direct horror so I can see where people felt it was too slow. The setting was dark, cold, and desolate..and I liked the light play, it didn't feel corny to me at all. I also liked the amount of time spent focusing on Ambar's predicament. When things really start to go sideways for her, it adds to that anxiety of her having nowhere to go and no resources to really rely on (besides her will to live). The monster was weird as hell but well-animated and really different, which was nice. (Gave me a Pan's Labyrinth feel.) The director made a comment on focusing on the imagery of hands, which I thought translated well. Hands to hold/embrace/comfort, but also to catch and kill.. It's worth a watch.

Dark and moving.. a good combination of supernatural and social commentary.
