Good concept and pulls you in quickly. There was no explanation of what caused people to disappear, why the shadows were hunting those left alive and the end left no conclusions. To me this is a great way to tell the story because you can relate and feel what the characters in the movie felt, they didn't know why it happened or have any explanation and we as the audience were able to take a walk in their shoes, not all mysteries can be explained.

The musical score in the background was repetitive and after a few times of it looping it lost it's spooky factor. I think the main thing that baffled me was the fact that they did not use fire more. Your in a bar with wood furniture and gallons of flammable materials, get a fire going not to mention all the gasoline left in the thousands of abandoned cars. The used one torch and a few candles when they could have kept a bonfire going pretty much indefinitely.

Overall not a bad movie and as a fan of the apocalyptic style movies I enjoyed it. Gave it a 7/10

Was not expecting much when I sat down to watch this movie. Was pretty slow paced. The writing in this movie was so bad as to almost make you root for the evil spirits because these people were so stupid they deserved what they got. Some Examples The mother's part was written horribly a real mother would never have let her daughter sleep alone in her room with the door closed and lights off night after night while getting attacked by the evil spirits. It became just silly after 3 nights of this and just plain unbelievable after a week. Also she could have stayed awake and watched the girl at night while the son slept and he could have watched over her during the day. Sleep in shifts, all together in same room would have made even the most basic of sense.

I am sorry but after a few nights of these attacks and repeated phone calls with just voice messages left to the spiritual expert who is on vacation it is time to pull up google and do a search for other people who can take care of the problem, contact a local church or even look up ways to fight on your own.The whole leaving multiple voice mails to ONE GUY while your family is being terrorized by an evil spirit is just Darwin at work.

Just felt like the characters in the movie were more for cannon fodder rather than intelligent people willing to at least try something besides voice mails and 8 hours in a hotel room to survive.

Was great movie to Riff on. Not sorry I watched it. 4/10
