4/10
The trailer made it look much better than it was

Yawn. There was nothing new, and I wasn't drawn in by the characters or the storyline.

I know some have criticized the acting, but I didn't see anything wrong with it. I've seen better, but I've also seen far worse acting in horror movies.

The storyline wasn't original. It doesn't necessarily have to be. I've seen plenty of recycled story lines, but the execution of this was just...yawn. The kids should've thought something was amiss when the parents run to the doctor and leave their little girl in the care of people THEY DON'T KNOW! Even stranger, the stupid kids accept that responsibility. The story wasn't awful, just boring. I know some can look at those as being one in the same.

I will say Elizabeth Di Prinzio and Chris Coy did good acting in their roles. Di Prinzio was the lead, so you have to hope she can act at least a little. She brought the right amount of emotion to her scenes. Coy was good in his role. This was, however, a step down from his role of Martin in The Walking Dead.

The CGI monster at the end was silly. He was only there for about two seconds. It's just as well it was for such a short time. It was poorly done.

I don't recommend, unless you have the need to see every horror movie out there. When voting commences on this, I'll give it a 4-star rating.
