There really wasn't enough characterization at all, core human characteristics for a film story, let alone within a plot framework, for me to care much about any of these characters. I didn't wish them any harm, but yeesh, their fictional, so who cares about a bunch of their subtle life moments?

The plot... oh my, now that was plodding. A little here, a little there, about this creature. Eighty percent of the Supernatural TV episodes were more interesting, intriguing, suspenseful, visually striking, creepy & scary. And at least those episodes had a sense of humor.

I just wanted the film to get on with it, have something happen, &/or say something meaningful. A couple things happened over the 87 minutes. It could barely fill a trailer. My life isn't dull enough to watch films like this.

I wasn't impressed either. I thought it was unnecessarily slow... hardly anything happened. However, I think that when the movie wanted to be scary and creepy, it was.
