This is an unusual horror film I can get behind, though at first I thought it was pretty terrible. The weirdness is too on-the-nose, the first murder after the credits is needlessly bloody and the script wasn’t making any sense. There’s vampirism, zombie-like behavior, a possible cult and a dark figure that might be Satan. None of these are called by their name, they’re just thrown into the mix. Because characters never get a grasp of what’s going on, there’s an atmosphere of the unknown. It’s like trying to get across a floor that won’t stop shifting, and that’s good for horror. Also, some individual scenes are remarkable, including one inside a movie theater that shamelessly rips off the Birds, but is just as effective because the context is different.
