Another horror movie that avoids the usual pitfalls of the genre and gets it done right. I have to admit I wasn't expecting much after the trailer made it seem like another monster out to get you movie, but I digress I was pleasantly surprised. It's less about what's out there than the slow psychological effects and breakdown of the group from within. Everyone gives good performances which isn't exactly a staple in horror movies. A lot of movies like this stumble into stupid territory when they attempt to explain all the supernatural happenings, fortunately we get none of that here which would have probably ruined everything.
