Not the best horror fan in the world but this is an ok atmospheric horror thriller.Dont look now similarities about which cannot be a bad thing.

I wanted to like this, cause I loved Du Welz previous one. But I never really got in to it. At its best moments it reminds me of Apocalypse Now, the same haunting feverish feeling. But unfortunately Vinyan has to many unrealistic moments to really keep me interested

I don't even know why this was on my rental list.
