Like most mumblecore movies making inroads into horror, this one has believable characters -- it takes a stand by putting the three characters a class level up from "generic suburban"; one of them mentions being in law school, though the plot summaries describe them ass "coeds" -- interacting with plausible (and occasionally hilarious) dialogue, life situations (the little brother who comes out for a smoke, persistently), and a little culture commentary ("Tell your father he's not going to get re-elected if ... ").
The result is, you don't really see *it* coming, the way the wind is taken out from underneath you, the way you're breathing heavy like the characters ... well not *all* of them.
For that, you'll have to watch the movie!
VERDICT: Professional indie, slyly made and a great use of locations and few actors. More weight is given to each. Your time won't be wasted, and it'll stay with you, like you learned something new. Plus horror great Larry Fessenden! How. Can. You. Go wrong?
