Good movie.
This movie had me at the edge of my seat but I did not jump once, it was the story combined with the suspense and music that had me on edge, I could not wait to see what was next. I liked the ending but it was like something was missing. I often shook my head because of the stupidity of the main character. I hope they make a sequel and that sequel goes more into the story, everything is understood but still there's like something missing.
The acting, cinematography, script, sets and costumes are average. The directing, special effects and story are good. The music is great.

It was very creepy. I watched it alone and actually fast-forwarded a few scenes because I could not take the tension -- and I didn't want to scream with everyone else sleeping. I did not like the ending because it didn't feel like an ending to me but overall I agree that it is a good movie worth watching at least once.

I appreciated that, throughout most of the film, the creature/terror remained hidden and ambiguous, leaving much more to the imagination. I equate a lot of horror movies to bad poker players - often, they show their hand to soon in the game. After the initial reveal, it can be hard to keep the attention of an audience.
