I didn't hate this movie but I didn't really like it that much either. It was like watching the first 15 minutes of a film where they establish the plot...except that first 15 minutes last 1 hour and 30 minutes.
The story never really gets off to go anywhere. It also is more of a sci-fi film than a horror film. I'm not sure how this movie would constitute as "horror" especially when it has so much Synth pop/Synth wav Blade Runner music going on. Nothing sinister about it.
There's even this one scene where a synth pop song comes on while the lead actress is watching some sort of classic MTV like dream video. I mean if this movie was some sort of Synth Pop music themed movie with no dialogue I think it would be cool... but it's not it's an actual movie that's supposed to have a plot and dialogue.
This movie is like watching the boring bits of Nightmare on Elm Street with the "Never Ending Story" Soundtrack playing over it.
It seems that the director was being too artistic with the visuals and the music to invest into the story. It has the elements to be a good story and decent enough actors but they don't ever do anything with any of it. It's like this movie could sit right on the shelf next to that one other movie "Sucker Punch" (another movie about nothing really) and fit right at home along side it.
This movie is really half baked. Perhaps if it were the introduction to a "series" that had a plot that progressed instead of a 2 hour film than it would seem more fitting but as it is watching this movie is like driving on a straight road with no curves and no scenery to look at.
Sure the trip is pleasant enough because it's uneventful but it's also highly forgettable because nothing happens but at least you have your radio to play some synth pop tunes along the way I guess.
Also... the ending is absolutely ridiculous.
