I honestly don't know what to think of this. The premise was good, monsters were original, but the acting and directing were horrible. The only character that was believable or had any depth was Sam, the dad/monster. There was one scene where a woman is being chased by a life sized army doll, and while she is hiding under the couch, she reaches out for a piece of chocolate, giving away her location. Seriously??? And towards the end the mother Rachael is unable to contact her son and is worried sick. So apparently her solution is to screw the husband that disappeared 3 years before. I know its a horror film, but that doesn't mean there can't be a little bit of realism and continuity.
Maybe the version I watched was heavily cut, but it seemed like there were a few sub plots that were started and never concluded. When Sam and Rachael go to the cottage, you are led to believe, for about 5 seconds, that the cottage has been broken into. Then, nothing. And when they are walking in the woods, Rachael finds some mutilated animal carcasses. Then, nothing. A black panther suddenly appears, without introduction or explanation.
Weirdly enough, even though this film was disjointed and downright horrible at times, these things seemed to come together to make the viewing experience even more enjoyable. I'm glad I watched it.
