Featured reviews
I actually made an account *specifically* for reviewing this movie as i believe the ratings are a bit unfair, the reviews are worse. Some of them make valid points, but i think others are needlessly over-critical. The one about watching it on 1.5x speed... come on, do you even like watching movies at that point?
This director hasnt made many movies. Its obviously a bit lower budget. HOWEVER, as someone who's watched hundreds of horror movies, i honestly enjoyed this. Its not perfect, but its creepy and entertaining and keeps you intrigued
i do agree with other reviewers that the plot was a bit convoluted and couldve been condensed down. In parts (the beginning, especially) the acting isnt really very good. That being said - there are many movies that have convoluted plotlines and/or bad acting that are well loved and highly rated.
TLDR; its entertaining enough, its a fun watch, a little creepy and i enjoyed it. Dont go into it expecting too much, like hollywood-tier production and john carpenter-esque screenwriting. Its decent for what it is.

First off, I've liked Tom Sizemore, RIP, in some of his past movies. It seems like toward the end of his life, he was pumping out a lot bad scripted movies. I thought he looked terribly sick right away and his voice was badly broken. It is overly long and I too had to FF through a lot of the historical flashback. The movie to me had the sense of a play more than a movie. Special effects were below average. The ending itched of some sort of sequel, and was another one of those, you guess what it means endings. Seemed really low budget in general. Small cast, small sets. And misdirected. There are better things to watch.
Theres a good story and horror concept in here somewhere. Unfortunately, it is lost in the poor writing, excessive dialogue and excessive scene lengths.
The screenplay is weak. I actually felt like Tom Sizemore was ad libbing his lines, and improvising off the other characters.
I respect Tom Sizemore, but he's just not together in this film. His lines are not clear or appropriate for the situation and he repeats himself.
This film is shot beautifully, but there are too many scenes, and the film could have been edited by 30 minutes.
I watched it over two nights because it took so long to develop.
It would have been a really good 90- minute horror film with less dialogue and quicker pace.
I salute the concept.

The movie is simply terrible but the acting manages to be even worse. Its almost funny, like some kind of parody.
You keep asking yourself which One is the worst because they all sucks so bad, its amazing.

I noticed this the other day & after watching the trailer in which I didn't realize the detective was Tom Sizemore, I went & read a review & knew it was going to be a good movie. I was right. You have to understand those who usually leave reviews on here. They are young, have been completely dumbed down & can't stand anything that isn't a huge hollywood propaganda production. They like lot's of things going BOOM, lots of blood, gut's & sex, and do not want to have to use their brain which has never been used before. Is this a fast-paced, action-packed, shoot'em-up movie? No, not at all. Is it better than the majority of what hollywood produces today? Definitely. I loved Tom Sizemore. He was one of my favorite actors since I started watching him back in the 90's. This was definitely not his usual role, but he was perfect for it. I even found myself a little spooked out at times, and got the chills a few times. I'm a little confused as to how no one could understand it, or keep up with it, but that just goes to show you exactly what I said about today's society is true. If you don't mind thinking, or don't need a huge mind-numbing hollywood production to enjoy a movie then you'll definitely want to check this out. Especially if you like Sizemore.
