I think the "throwback" quality of the film was done well. The opening scene with the Mercedes was reminiscent of the Night of the Living Dead. The story moved at a nice pace without unfolding too quickly. The crazy hippie friends reminded me of the Amityville Horror from the 60s with Helen Shaver. So many things went right with the film and they pulled it off while giving up some hardcore gore. I think some of the acting (and dodging) the sticky bits wasn't so much an act. I don't think there was a wall left unscathed. Solid film. Entertaining and curious. Wouldn't make me keep the night light on, but I feel they were going for another sense with this piece. Dark Sky is making some clever choices and I see the work paying off from film to film. It is always great to see a group do well when they apparently care about the horror genre.
