This is not a masterpiece but it was not too bad. It's unusual and I liked that idea. Some things don't make sense while watching but will become more clear later on.Gory enough for its genre but not many jump scares. This movie does have a story line and I enjoyed that.You have your stereotypical hot blonde, useless but handsome enough husband and a creep next door. The acting was OK although the creep could have been creepier. Not convincing enough but solid.It's a 7 for me. I watched it till the end. Not the potential for a new favourite but not too bad either.Try that one if you like new ideas and keep guessing what's wrong there or why things happen.

What? I mean really, what? What did I just watch? Even if I were to concede that the idea of the movie was good--that of resurrecting the dead by breathing into them--even IF I conceded this was a good premise, the execution was horrible.1.) The acting was wretched, especially on the part of the female version of Haley Joel Osment who played the lead.2.) The movie itself became quite daft because the actions of the lead character were daft. Breaking into your neighbor's house because he seemed weird. Staying at home to "find out what's going on" when you know that some crazy crap is going on. Coming into your house with a weapon drawn knowing your husband is there because his car was in the driveway. There were too many unforgivable faux pas in this movie to let slide.3.) The finale was predictable, cliché and unimaginative. Sarah not reaching her husband when she critically has to tell him not to go home. The husband actually going home. The husband being bound and gagged to look like Dale so Sarah can shoot him and other cinema sins such as the husband simply throwing the bad guy down as though that took care of the problem.This movie was terribly done. This very concept in the hands of good writers and a good director could've been so much more. But, as it is, it will be a forgotten flick hopefully never to be brought back.

Ugh. Just...ugh. The conventions of B grade horror are not difficult. That's why we're all so forgiving. We love to see it. Even when the acting is bad and the effects are laughable. But god...the worst part of this joke of a movie...Moloch, this is the paste-eating kid of the horror genre when his proud Non-bi-lateral chromosomal gene donor goes on about how he'll probably be president some day. Woof. I'm too mad to sound reasonable.I am so mad at the time I lost on this movie that I have to force myself to bring it down to two terse notes.Alright. #1: Making the poor, emotionally abused small human thing who grew up to be a slightly awkward adult human thing the abject villain is just...terrible. Don't do that. Spoilers: That's what happens.#2 I find it almost helplessly hilarious that a movie available through a certain company that starts with "N" maybe has pretty much the same "Baby through 'having loving intercourse with someone that does not want you to have loving intercourse with them' that I didn't know about because ghosts or something!" that is kind of...a huge plot point in two out of the three current big original series of a certain company that may or may not provide direct to download services and start with an N!. Seriously, Netflix, dude. Just write some hot and heavy wife swapping fan fiction or wallaby off. It's getting creepy.((*sigh* Guys, it would really help if you would highlight the problem words and not just tell me that something is vaguely wrong. I sound like a tin skeleton.))

This was a really good film with excellent acting and good score. The locations were just OK but the story and directing made up for that. Just goes to show good films can be made without big names. I always enjoy a movie where you don't know what's going to happen, this certainly did that for me on many occasions.It has you involved from the start to the end with strong conviction. The leads are great.This should have got more press.Totally recommend to watch! Good story! Good acting! Great score! Great Directing!! Don't be put off by rating! Good scares!!Don't miss this one!!!!! A fun watch! On Netflix too!!
