Most undeservingly overhyped movie of all time??

Clever and entertaining enough to recommend even to members of the 1%

One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.

This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

I have seen this movie twice now just to make sure I had a decent understanding of it. It starts out interesting but very soon takes a weird and dark turn. This movie kind of reminds me of certain Spanish movies where the outcome is just all kinds of bad. Lots of anxiety, creepy lighting, and sadness, and no glimpse of hope. Depression and a quite precarious sense of being accompanies this film, and the lighting and setting doesn't help. Creepy glass and dim lamps pair with the sad and oppressive theme. To its credit, certain scenes are for sure creepy and "jumpy" like the ones with the "demons" appearing outside, but for me anyway, the jumpiness of the lead character and his manic crap made me nervous and just took away the fun of an otherwise good horror flick.

***Spoilers..i guess*** I gave this movie a 5, midway because I HAVE seen some painfully bad horror movies with equally bad acting, bad story, and bad cinematography. But this one had some potential. Throughout watching the film, I DID say, hey, there's a possibility that the guy's f***kin nuts?! So for me, it prompted a discussion the effects of a psychotic break. In an addition to that, I do like the set up for his issues/paranoid state because you could see that he wasn't sleeping and looked withdrawn. (I, personally, being a person that suffers from bouts of insomnia related to my narcolepsy, I can agree that sleep deprivation CAN and will make you more prone to hallucinations, paranoid thinking and panic attacks/anxiety.) If anything, this movie could've been considered an interesting POV of a man's decent into madness. And with that in mind, the crazy lighting, bad views of the monsters, and confusing sense of story sorta works.....now as much as I walked away from this movie believing that he was just crazy...there could be a play for a "Silent Hill 2-Video Game story plot" Where its a case of this man's guilt creating a hell that only he sees and experiences. In a sense, the monsters are real, but only in his head. And the mind, being a powerful device is manifesting these things enough to cause such damage (mentally and spiritually)...

Let me at least say that I liked the camera work right away (but could not stand the audio). I liked that there weren't any cheap gimmicks you almost always come across in the horror genre. But that's the only praise I can give this film. There was a lot of useless exposition and scenes that did little to nothing to further the plot. It lacked timing and it didn't use its effects to their full capacity. I didn't jump once during this movie, but I did get bored and wondered when the scary stuff was coming. The ending was predictable. The part where they're running around the building with nothing following them was just annoying. It had all the components that should scare its audience with unseeable things that are lurking in the dark yet failed miserably at utilizing them, because it showed what the monsters looked like too soon. It was frustrating because supposedly these things can prey on you even if you can't see them, but they never actually did anything (except at the very end). Also, didn't these people have jobs? Why didn't they just leave?

I was so frustrated whilst watching this. The potential for a fantastic film was all there but it was all let down by the lack of info and the obscure plot.At first I was lead to believe that this was going to be a new improved British version of Paranormal Activity... I was wrong.I was dieing for this film to break forward and become its own film. But instead I was just left wondering WHY!? Why? Why did this happen? Why does that happen? At one point I though a few questions were going to be answered as to why this demon is doing this haunting and this was hinted at but still not made clear. With abstract shots of small dark rooms we're led on a cryptic path where nothing is really explained as to why or how it's happening.
