This film was such a disappointment, and not for the usual reasons when it comes to horror films these days (low budget, bad special effects, terrible acting etc.). Oh no, this film had an adequate budget and is technically competent. It also had actors who were up for the job. Cinematography is great. It feels very much like an X-files episode, from the time they still invested a lot of money in that show. Also, the premise is interesting. The problem is that the screenplay is badly written. It is needlessly confusing, it fails to generate true terror despite all the elements being in place for scary scenes to be created, and it all ends with a baffling anticlimax. I look at this film and I see a series of missed opportunities for suspense and horror, as well as some interesting character development. A project that was this serious should not have allowed for the effort to be wasted on an unpolished script like this.
