The movie has a decent premise with elements of mystery, thriller, and supernatural flick thrown in. The scripting was somewhat stilted and awkward, but could have been worse. It jumps around a lot and gets a little silly, but it ties everything together nicely and gives you a nice, though predictable, twist. The filming was good.
But the lead actor was absolutely the worst. His tone was completely flat. He sounded exactly the same throughout the entire movie. Confusion, anger, love - every emotion was portrayed with the exact same tone and intonation. And who talks like this guy? I get that in written form it may have seemed fine, but the language was totally unnatural. People don't say "they are". They say "they're". How did nobody notice how labored his speech sounded? Is that how he talks in real life, or just when he's trying to act? Most of the other acting was okay (although none of it was particularly memorable), but the lead drove me nuts and made the movie totally unenjoyable.
I watched it in bits and pieces while doing midnight feedings with my newborn. I don't know that I would have been able to handle it beginning to end in one sitting. I'd say it's fine if you have a couple hours to kill, but I wouldn't go out of my way to watch it.
