Very gloomy movie - in a good way. A little slow (purposely?) but good plot. Probably low budget but they did well enough with what they had. Acting a little over the top sometimes by one character to the point of a bit annoying. Main character dialogue was too 'hesitant' at times but still tolerable. Very good cinematography and camera use/placement. The creepiness factor was always present. Music.. not bad but not so good either. Still worth watching. It may be one of those movies you have to be in the mood for though. For me it was one of those movies you may watch on a lazy, rainy, Sunday morning. Like the Lifetime Channel does to some people. It sucks you in and you HAVE to know the rest of the story. Only this one was much better. I really enjoyed it.
I can not understand the high rates because this film is really awful. It was so slow I lost interest by the middle of it. Easy to sort it out, I figured out the plot and the "mistery" in a bit less than an hour. No surprises. Acting was poor. It was really bad. The end was a "Cliché", well seen in other movies. Dating back to "The Others" (Alejandro Amenábar ) for example. The soundtrack is interesting though. I did not get scared in any moment. Some scenes did not seem to be necessary. The female cast is fine. Well do not need to say much, It's not worth watching. As I wrote before, It's slow, boring and totally predictable.
I'm glad I didn't see the trailer before watching this film as I would have been even more let down. It is very slow and really has no plot. It is definitely short of any real substance. There is no drama, suspense or energy at all or anywhere in the movie. It started out being a film I could have really enjoyed but as it went on I kept waiting for something, anything to happen. But it didn't. And it's another one of those with a empty ending. The acting was OK but just lacked a story and led to no where. The trailer hits on the only fairly good parts and adds more drama than what the movie represents. It would be OK for a teenager but for adults, I wouldn't recommend at all.
A bad director can ruin a film despite the cast and crews best efforts.
The casting was good as regard the main characters but the hot lesbians, whilst pleasing to the eye did the film no favours. I suspected that they were a later addition to spice up what was a rather stilted, poorly directed and edited movie, but it just served to spoil the film further(and this is a straight guy speaking). Anyway, I gathered that this was filmed on a low budget, however the camera work was very good. I am no stranger to film sets so I tend to notice little things. The railway line location they were principally using was disused, obviously so with all the rust, weeds and fallen deadwood. A coat of oil on top of the rails would have covered the rust and given the impression of recent use. An hour weeding, clearing the fallen twigs and uncovering the sleepers would have completed the impression that it was still in use and not just a defunct line to some old sawmill. Brendan Fehr has let himself go since Roswell days. The baggy shirts don't disguise this unfortunately and he walks like someone out of shape too. What would a gorgeous girl like Amelia really find attractive in a back woods short order chef who is his own best customer? Chad Lindberg is not a bad actor but his part smacked of just one take being enough to satisfy Mr A.D. Calvo.
Remake it with a new scriptwriter, with roles for Natassia and Beatrice that contribute to the story. Send Brendan to the gym for three hours a day for a month, and don't let A.D. Calvo direct it again.

This Film is deeper than you think. You have to see it with the Karmhic wheel in mind. I'm not going to spoil the film, but it's more than meets the eye. Think of it on several levels before you review. There is a cult quality to it's form. Give it a good chance and as I said: Look deeper. The acting is right in form. There is deep foreboding throughout. Excellent main characters with superb appearances from very familiar actors. The mood is very stark in contrast to the very lush cinematography. This characteristic alone will keep you guessing. The music score is excellent in both composition and placement. Excellent coverage and interpersonal relationships. Is it confusing? Yes. It's supposed to be, but the payoff ties everything together nicely, and at the same time leaves options and questions open. A great movie for thinkers. Not your run of the mill suspense supernatural thriller. This film has more to it than meets the eye.
