I don't know if it's the acting, the direction or the script (or all three), but this movie has some of the weakest, awkward and poorly timed dialogue I've ever seen. It's like the main character never rehearsed before making this. He just showed up and read his (poorly written) lines and they went with the first take. The soundtrack, cinematography and editing are great, but even they can't save this movie from feeling like the most boring, slow thriller I've seen in a long time. Also the scares and special effects are corny as hell.

I don't even normally write movie reviews.
adventurous, yet not quite
An admirable effort, to adapt a relatively obscure authors work, though the fact remains: its a short story, and at 80 minutes this movie plays like an exceedingly long twilight zone tale. the creepy and strange is diluted to kooky and weird, the wit is more kevin smith than lovecraft, and the ending is... boring. overall disappointing, pass unless you cant resist the premise
David Lynch it's not
I won't say it's a waste of your 90 minutes but don't expect Twin Peaks, X-files or Close Encounters. The story has tension and potential but it feels that they wrote out the 1 or 2 explanations that would have made the finale pay off. It sets an eerie mood and each character is weirder than the previous one but there's a plot hole you can't see but you know it's there. It's a fun little indie but don't expect to be satisfied by the ending.
