I don't usually review on IMDb, but for this I had to, having seen the multiple 10 star user reviews outnumbering all the others on here.
It's obvious that the makers have put a lot of effort into this (mostly in post-production), but the film is a bit of a mess. The titular character doesn't feature all that much to warrant the title, and his gift (demonstrated at the beginning of the film) is conveniently ignored, which otherwise would make a 10 minute film.
There are some good ideas here, but they're not very well executed. The suspense and fear is missing, partly to do with the acting & direction, but more to do with the voice-work. Some character's voices sound like they have been dubbed entirely, so I spent a lot of the film disengaged because it was so jarring. Some characters, no matter where they were, seem to have the same vocal echo; be it a police station, beach head, cottage, etc.
Maybe in years to come I will be proven wrong and this will be a cult film - the silliness was intentional - but for now, a 10 star film it is not.

The User Reviews Protest Too Much
Who are the samples giving good stars to this movie?
I don't know what these people are thinking. I usually watch the movies after checking rating on IMDb. But this 8 star rated movie is a complete disappointment. This is full of illogical scenes, pathetic acting and VFX/editing. General, old, poor and boring story also...
