Not a total mess, hence I gave it 2 stars.

But where to start? Obvious nods to Paranormal Activity, The Grudge, a flawed premise, a too short running time to explain everything, and a hurried climax. And to top it all, the ridiculous closing scene. There are a few good scenes scattered far and between (a superb opening build-up), but overall, a weak effort. Not to mention the leads, who do a brilliant job trying to look handsome but lack acting skills.

I understand that it's a low-budget film, but there's a difference between having a good premise and flaws in execution, and having a flawed premise and compound it further with flaws in execution. Saying any further might add spoilers, but why would someone suffer through the entire film for something they weren't originally a part of?

Avoid.
