I knew after watching the trailer this was a low budget movie, so no surprises there. True, the acting can be a little wooden (not just at times, but throughout) but it has a campy kind of feel to it.

Sam, the main character, does have a strange, pained expression throughout but I just took that as a character decision either on the part of the actor or director. I kept expecting some kind of twist where this quirky guy turns out to be quirky because of some dark past that gets revealed towards the end, but no, he's just weird and painfully awkward.

The crew seems to have fun with it, and with a movie like this you really can't take it too seriously. I mean, look at some low budget indie horror from years past like Evil Dead and it just went full blow into the camp aspect. This movie doesn't quite "go there" and takes itself a little more seriously, but not so much that you end up feeling sorry for them for missing the mark. If that makes sense.

So... 6 out of 10. Normally I might have bailed on a movie like this within the first few minutes but it was at least entertaining enough that I sat and watched the whole thing merely because I was hooked on the "what's going on" aspect and wanted to find out. It could have been better, but it could have been a lot worse too. For an apparently young crew and a first time director, it wasn't bad and I'll cut them all some slack for the parts that didn't really shine.

Don't bother unless you want to fall asleep fast. Any of the 10/10 reviews were done by the director and his family/friends.

The premise had promise, however with the lackluster performance of the lead, the shoddy filming and the far too guessable plot, let's this film down. One of the most annoying parts of this movie was that the characters were so boring that they might have well been played by mannequins, at least then the "character development" choices (ie the lead's constant "anxiety") would not have been present.

If you want a not great but fun retail horror film, watch Black Friday or something similar, as they will at the very least be entertaining.

This is clearly super low budget, but you get the send that it's made with a lot of heart and passion from everyone involved, it oozes from this movie.

It's fun, it doesn't take itself too seriously, and it's a cool concept. If you're a fan or The Store by Bentley Little, this is as close as I've seen to something like that in a movie. This definitely felt more like the kind of weird horror fiction I read.

There are questions in the plot, the acting doesn't always land, and I'd have preferred better costuming for the supernatural stuff, but... None of that kills this. Even when the acting doesn't hit, I feel such an earnest care from the actors that I don't care.

A lot of people demand perfection from small movies, a perfection people didnt even expext from bigger studio movies in decades past. Everything has to be a sleek package these days. I say no, a flawed movie can still be a good movie, and what I see here is passion and a lot of potential, and that is worth supporting.

I'm pretty sure this is my first review. I've had this account for years, but the negativity here inspired me to speak up.

If you want to have some spooky fun, watch this movie and chill out.

I'm not 100% sure what I was expecting, but from the trailer, it looked like a 'decent' indie flick.

The first 15 minutes or so, are OK...but the constant look of dread, pain...and worry on the lead's face, quickly becomes annoying. I mean it's CONSTANT...in every scene he's in. I'm not sure if this was the plan, but if it was, this really spoils the film.

Besides all that weirdness, the supporting actors are awful. Not a single one shone...even in their own light. To be honest, even the lead wasn't that great. He didn't really stand out as a lead.

The cinematography is good though, but the sound is awful...especially in some of the office scenes...the sound is awful. It sounds like the boom mic is miles away from the actors.

Story was abysmal and almost non-sensical.

Just not a great movie in any way, shape, or form.

Do not waste your time bad acting bad directing one scene he sneaks into a locked room then when he leaves he leaves the door open. The guy never notices the locked "room " is open awful directing and producing the slips up they let go. The characters are unbelievable as human beings let alone their characters the acting and script was that bad. My life is worth less for having watched this that time is gone don't make the same mistake. I have to keep writing to submit this what else can I say there is nothing good about this movie at all except maybe the woman actor maybe better than this movie i wish her luck and a better movie in the future.
