well worth watching

This is good, its not one of the 'have to have monsters charging around at least every 5 minutes' type though, it is a more thoughtful movie, and is more about the relationship between the two men and the little girl, and their main aim in protecting her. The heartbreak you can feel in the characters actually comes through to you. I was very impressed with the actors, ALL of them, they played their parts perfectly. Patrick losing his companion, the dog, which the little girl had grown to love also, was emotional. In all honesty, i will watch this again, as i believe i will like it even more when i do. well worth the time to watch. you will enjoy it if you allow yourself to.

Agreed. Great movie. Definitely more character driven than horror but full of tension and kept my interest the entire time. Fantastic acting from Fox and Donovan and the girl was very good. For such an unassuming little movie, it got me in the feels.

Director needs to move his ass and pumps more films out like this.

Scoup, i agree with everything you said especially regarding the director of the film. i hope he does more great movies like this!

I've already checked out his other stuff listed on his page - mostly short films and all Spanish language, so not really any back-catalog to view. Sad.

I was surprised at how much I enjoyed it too. There were some flaws in logic and even some continuity errors, but not to the point that it detracted from the movie too much. It was much better than what I'd expect of a typical horror flick. Well worth watching.

Yeah never a 2 hour movie passed that fast for me. Felt like only an hour. It's definitely worth watching.

Fully agree with you! You're absolutely right! Worth watching movie. Just reminded me a bit "I Am Legend". Will be among my favorites.
