Featured reviews
Never mind the extremely positive and negative reviews, they're both exaggerating. The truth is somewhere in the middle, so it's basically not really worth watching. It had my attention though, for the first hour, but after that it fell apart, it looked like they didn't put much effort towards the end with endless unnecessary conversations and even singing at one point. The first hour there was some suspense and the acting wasn't bad for a low budget movie. Too bad they didn't continue and elaborate the creature thing a bit more. Now it's just an average movie no one will ever remember.
Lots of negative reviews here but everyone is entitled to their opinion. Some opinions are, however, wrong.
If you liked The Endless or Spring then you'll like this one, too. The characters are flawed but you care for them anyway. There is horror, drama, and a few genuine laughs to be had. Loved the ending! Definitely worth a look.

While the film itself is a bit predictable (there are only a few ways it can go), it was extremely well done, mostly due to the acting from each of those involved, and little else. That was impressive. It seemed far shorter than what it actually was, too, which means the pacing - especially for a film like this - was fantastic, and that thought went into not letting it boggle down or lose momentum in any real, telling way. It keeps you pretty engaged for the duration of its running time.
More than that, however, is the amazing soundtrack which to me, is worth 10-Stars on its own. When all was said and done, I walked away with at least seven pretty great new tunes to add to my collection from three bands I had never heard of before.
This is a GREAT date movie. There is blood, gore, humor, a couple of lol's and lulls for hand-holding and popcorn-sharing, and as already mentioned, some excellent music.

The narrative jumps between the present and past, shown through flashbacks. Our protagonist's relationships with his partner and best friend make for lighthearted, often humorous fare, but the pacing drags down the film. The film lingers too much of his emotional state while simultaneously trying just a bit too hard to heighten the mystery of the nightly attacks. Presumably, this is something the viewer should care about, but then the film abruptly swerves into oncoming traffic with the nonsensical ending.
This film sounded like a solid idea but was so out there I had to watch. I was guessing the entire time where his girlfriend went and what is scratching on this door. Most of the film I assumed they were the same. Then the ending you will just laugh. Worth checking out in my opinion but not for everyone. The plot is a little slow and the acting isn't the best.

- TriviaDuring a karaoke scene, Henry Zebrowski's character Wade sings "Anthem From the Already Defeated" by Rock Plaza Central. This song was also featured in the 2012 film "The Battery". Both films were written and directed by Jeremy Gardner, who has leading roles in both films. Most notably, Gardner's character Ben in "The Battery" has a very memorable scene in which he sings and dances, bottle of booze in one hand and pistol in the other, to the same song.
