(This review may contain spoilers).
I did see this film originally at the cinema. It’s not a really unique horror film (a lot of the elements are those seen in other horror films) and there’s a complete lack of mystery. But I feel that the actors do quite a good job in the roles that they play.
I do think there are other cliches that this film suffers from – such as the ‘there might be an intruder. I’m alone in the house. I’m going to leave… all the lights off.’ Personally, when I’m in the house on my own and a scary thing happens, the first thing I do is turn the nearest light on. Or use my phone to see… but that was even creepier the last time I did that.
The part I liked most about this film was Needy’s relationship with Chip. I would have liked to see more of them together and even though I felt Chip was a bit of an idiot at times, there was a somewhat emotional moment involving him towards the end of the film.
The soundtrack in this film was particularly nice, I felt. There was one particularly moving scene during a funeral that I felt worked really well.
There wasn’t a lot of detail given to the supporting characters, so there was really only one I cared about dying. Maybe two. There were also a few freaky moments in this film – and probably some quite jumpy ones if you’re watching it for the first time.
Although this isn’t a cult horror film and isn’t terribly original, I find it entertaining enough to have on in the background. There was at least some attempt made at a proper storyline.
