Finally got to see this tonight and have to agree with the above.

Really surprised to see all the positive comments on here, I thought this was terrible... everything from the editing and music to the acting, characters and script was truly awful. I'll give it 3/10 'cause the basic idea had potential, a shame it was so poorly executed though.

I loved it, what a ride, for a lot of the film i was like what the fuck, but once it was over and i had digested it, i loved it.

Wow... I'd hate to see what rating you'd give a film that TRULY was poorly executed.

Haha, OK, a fair point... I guess I could give an extra point for production values and the handful of nicely setup shots and so stretch to 4/10, but really this movie failed at almost every level for me so is barely worthy of being categorised above those worthless, zero budget movies you're talking about.

It's been a while since I felt the need to forward through a movie but I did numerous times with this one, that kinda says it all. If it hadn't been for the mildy interesting "reveal" that I knew was coming at the end I'd have switched it off after about 30 mins and watched something else instead.

Liked this movie until the part that the gods or whatever is involved..

[othervoice1]

I liked all of it - the ending I was a little meh on but the more I thought about it I really didnt expect that to happen which I think is what they were going for- just seems so far the blu ray is awful expensive even on Amazon - holding off to see if the steel book in the uk will be region free or not

[othervoice1]

appears the R1 blu ray w/digital copy is down to 19.96 on Amazon now - every time I looked earlier it was still around 30 - most of the forums feel the steel book will be region locked since it is lionsgate releasing it - so i guess ill pass on that since I can see myself taking this movie to a friends house to watch

I agree with you. I thought it had tremendous promise which degenerated into a weird cross between Evil Dead, generic zombie/hillbilly movies and a hipster, yuppie sitcom.
I found nothing remotely scary about this and the forced attempts at humor did little for me either.
It was not the worst film I've seen by a long shot, but I find its awesomeness has been blown out of proportion and it's sorely overrated.

Anyone find it strange that the lenticular cover basically spoils the movie?

It bothers me.
