The story is okay but the acting of Tye Sheridan could be much better. The clerc's (Tye Sheridan) acting is not convincing at all. The story is constructive but is destroyed by the unconvincing acting of "Bart Bromley". Helen Hunt has only a small part to play but is okay. I was afraid that the end would be as how a lot of stories nowadays ends and it did ...leaving the viewer disillusioned, as he/she walks straigth into a black hole. For me it was an ending which made me think "what a waste of time".

I wanted to see this "short" movie although I thought it would be terrible. Because a lot of nowadays sf movies have such bad endings. From the start I was caught by it's creepiness. Think you have to watch it with a big screen and surrounding. The build up made me curious and I even start to skip parts so I would know where it would start horrorfying... I don't have that a lot. The end was excellent because the runtime of the movie was "only" one hour and that was for me what made it creepy. Not overdone by too much footage etc. This was "for me"definitely worth an eight ! I also read the review headline "if you have suicidal thoughts please don't watch this". I'm definitely no suicidal and as Clint Eastwood once said in one of his movies "opinions are like assh*les, every body has one".... Gosh would I love to have an autograph of Owen Mulligan on a movie-poster (small one). Just go on making this type of movies. It's a good and pleasant add-on in this world of many strange movies with bad endings (also my opinion).

Let me say this. IMDb should do something about this. Almost 30% voted 1 out of 10. That's absolute not realistic. The movie was in my opinion good from begin to end. All the aspects of a s.f. comic movie are there and the way it evolved during the movie was outstanding. I loved the dark parts but if you see it in a bad movie theater it can be boring when not the right equipment is used. But most "comic" lovers are far from realistic and live in their own small world without an open mind for all the goods beside the lesser goods. Especially the alternate world was done perfect and with a sense of humor that was more than welcome. The special effects are just okay ... But I end as I started. IMDb and many other movie review sites should take action with so many 1 voters.. because that's absolutely not reliable at all.
