Ok, this is good, very good in almost all respects, and yes effects are very good- even groundbreaking. But, uh, was Hershey's one of the main investors of this film?

But, uh, was Hershey's one of the main investors of this film? And are we all supposed to ignore the fact that this "blood" that they used was obviously chocolate syrup? It seems they did use some coloring in the syrup on the gas station window, but most of it was just plain chocolate. I get it, ok, it's a nod to the masters of horror, bach when they used black and white film, and it worked very good on B&W, but color film- it just doesn't work and it ruins the effect. Come on, am I the only one who is going to say anything about the brown blood?… Expand

Pretty Decent Scary Movie, Not a bit cheezy and very original. Don't pass us this non mainstream movie.

Surprisingly suspenseful, the director skillfully keeps from going over the top. The dialogue is fresh and convincing, as is the acting. Good score. Fine special effects. Sometimes the camerawork is a bit annoying, but overall a great effort.

Not spectacular at all but smart, simple original: a very interesting movie. All horror fans will apreciate, mainly for its very nice creatures. Great discovery.
