"This set up for this is better than the execution. That first act was really interesting. She drives into the woods then has car trouble. She leaves to get help and the car disappears. Then she is forced into a bunker with 3 other people and given the rules about these creatures that watch from the other side of the 2 way mirror. Shamalan's daughter follows the formula. An intriguing set up thats a slow burn thats showed have this twist to pay things off. However as things proceed it becomes pretty obvious what the twist is. They also break some of thier own rules with the logic. It's a solid first effort. Very atmospheric and creepy....decent creature designs. It was boring in some parts and just didn't stick the landing. It's just ok. Please check out my podcast Mostly Low Budget Movies Reviews with Clarence for a full break down. On all streaming platforms. Link is in the bio. Thank you!"
"Based on Irish folklore, very creepy, a nice twist thrown in there, as well as good acting. Loved it! Don’t listen to the other reviews, I’m very shocked people are rating it so low. A lot are saying that it felt rushed when the main character gets lost in the forest, but it makes complete sense. It was already late by the time she got into the forest, her car breaks down because of the forest I’m guessing, then she sees a sign and goes to look for help, then she gets lost presumably also because of the forest as we learn the forest causes hallucinations, and she was found probably because she was luckily close by to the safe zone. It’s not rushed at all it’s actually very “realistic” for her situation. As for the rest of the movie and people saying it falls flat near the end… that is completely untrue!! Not every horror movie has to have a climax that makes your mouth drop or scares your socks off, a lot of them are just very unsettling and interesting. And for a folklore horror movie, unsettling and interesting are perfect. We don’t have enough horror movies or movies in general based on folklore, it’s something filmmakers should get into, would be very interesting to see."
"Pretty good! There were two twists that I did not see coming."

"Honestly surprised how much I enjoyed this movie. The story was actually pretty good, and although at times it can be predictable the plot twists were actually kinda nice. My big issue though is I would’ve loved to seen a bit more background explanation on the house to kinda tie everything up a bit better, and there were times where I really thought was stupid. Such as the bomb shelter being underneath them the entire and barely finding out after being stuck inside the house for a very long time. The ending too was a bit lackluster, especially the whole “Naruto style speech” that kept Mina alive.
Besides from a couple of flaws I really did like the movie and would consider watching it if you haven’t."

"Very disappointed! I can’t even remember it well now because I was mentally constructing my grocery list as I watched it—that’s how bored I was with the nonsensical plot. My friend, who is a film professor, agreed that we had just wasted 2 hours. "
