I would like to give this film a lot more, but for me, not enough happened to justify a higher rating. The ideas were good; creepy, chilling etc but they were few and far between, and the film built up to nothing. I don't want to sound too harsh but I felt that some of it was pretty lazy - there are loose ends, like who the hell was the kid in the hotel room? Who was the girl in the gas station? Where the hell did Eva go? I had to research the ending because it was so vague. I don't like to be spoon fed film plots but this one was far too ambiguous to understand. I just about grasped the plot; and after researching comments by the director I just felt that the writers really tried too hard to make the film what it was. In fact, researching comments made by the director made me think less of the film. I wouldn't watch it again; it's half way to a great film, but that's it. There should have been more scares and a less ambiguous story/ending. If there were more frequent creepy and scary moments, and they were built on and developed, I think that this film could be a lot better. Also, I don't like animals being killed in films so those needless scenes knocked another star off my rating.
