The first twenty minutes of dialogue was authentic. After that there wasn't a sentence, or phrase that I hadn't heard in some other screenplay. If not verbatim, easily paraphrased. The story line was alright, but overused in home invasion flicks. All of that might not have been so bad if the echo wasn't so prevalent in so many scenes.
I really wanted to like this film, and I did like some aspects of it. The synopsis was enticing. The soundtrack laid down a pretty eerie atmosphere. I could live with the harsh lighting.... I've endured worse in better movies. Overall, it's worth a least one watch.

The writing is the weakest link in this
Horrible movie with loud noises
This was a horrible movie. Marginal acting. The script ruined the plot of the movie. And the terrible sound: Walking across a room or up and down the stairs, opening things and eating food: Too Loud. What is with that? Seriously nobody noticed that in post production? The only good thing I can say about this movie is that it wasn't as bad as Dinosaur Hotel (The Number One Worst Movie Of All Time).
Muddled Mess
If the film makers' objective was to make a patchwork, crazy quilt mess, rife with unlikeable characters, then they succeeded beyond their wildest dreams. I absolutely hated this movie, and turned it off about halfway through.
The acting was horrible, the direction was at least equally as bad. The editing and pace of the film we're all over the place. It was as if the director changed his mind about the course of the story every five minutes. Spare yourself and skip this utter bag of excrement. It really is that bad.
