I'm only about a half hour in at this point - though it seems fairly well made, tense and atmospheric. Quite a few abrupt moments.
It reminded me a little bit of "The Signal" (2007) which I quite like, so yeah...seems solid enough, thus far.

Agreed, tense, it's well made... it's interesting, good pace, effective shot direction, decent effects and acting. More enjoyable for those who haven't see The Happening or Quiet Place.

I liked this more than you did. I saw it with a buddy at the theatre high. I was impressed with the trippy cinematography. It wasn't a great or notable story, wasn't particularly funny, except like you said, I think there were some funny parts, like there was in A Nightmare Before Christmas. Personally, I wouldn't say the film would have had to try very hard to be better than a TV ep... but although I saw a good 6 eps, I wasn't a fan, so you've confirmed I'm probably wrong about that. Anyway, I enjoyed for it for what I think it was attempting cinematically, and I'm not sure what anyone was expecting considering the source material.

Holy fuck!!! This movie was simply astonishing! Where to begin... the cinematography was beautiful! The writing was amazing! The acting was superb! This thing kept me on the edge of my seat the entire time and while it isn't necessarily horror per se, it certainly had the elements of suspense and even mystery. This movie was so Tarantino-esque with the way the story was presented to us and just when you start thinking what the hell can happen next, the story goes in a whole other direction but it all comes together so beautifully. I cannot recommend this movie enough to any of you. The only problem I have isn't even with the movie, it's with something they spoil in the trailer. It's not even that important of a spoiler but the point is they still shouldn't have done it. I won't say what it is but a lot of people probably already know just from the trailer itself. Watch this movie though, you won't be disappointed!

Sounds good, looking forward to it. How close to Pulp Fiction is this?
