    Almost profound, turned out just ok
    The main actor is quite good. He's really believable and his final big scene was impressively acted. The movie makes great points but overall it was a little boring and not scary. The ending felt rushed and didn't quite make sense. Will definitely be looking forward to more by Jim Cummings, but this was a one time watch for me.
