Twilight zone

I wonder if this plot will just be an updated movie length version of the twilight zone episode.

And the answer is... Yes...and No. It's not exactly "The Howling Man" but, yeah, that's the general idea. It's slow and not very interesting and not believably written or well acted. It's nicely shot and the music generally works but... not worth the time.
Nothing to see here. Move along.

Well said. Idea was interesting and music was really eerie creating scary atmosphere, but despite those things, movie was very bad with full of mistakes and bad acting. Whole movie was a lot boring talking and nothing much.

It is a very poor attempt at modernizing The Howling Man

Bad directing, writing, editing, and acting. A waste of 7 dollars on On Demand, lol

This is the kind of movie that gives indie Horror a bad name. A borrowed concept ruined by amateurish filmmaking

At no point did I ever feel invested in the story or the characters. This is what happens when an amateur thinks he's ready to step up and make a real film

Not very encouraging reviews of this. Still I might want to see it for a Christmas horror sometime.

I had the same feeling this was an interpretation of The Twilight Zone episode. I thought it was okay, but it left you with more questions than answers and at least the original you had a lot of religious backstory and stuff. The pacing of the movie indeed was VERY slow and that is what hurt it in my mind.
