Can't decide what it wants to be

Sadly, this movie had plenty of potential, but only flops in the end. It's like they wanted to do a creepy horror movie, with creatures, ghostly hands, and the group being stalked, but at the last minute the director changed his mind and made into a nutjob trying to find redemption in some insane manner. So they failed to make either story interesting by trying to do a little of both. And it took way too long to get there.

At least the scenery was good.

True. I didn't like it at all. Such a great potential lost.

Agreed. I really liked most of this movie and there were great visuals but I just can't forgive them for introducing an eyeball appearing in a pot of water like it was some type of organic invasive "alien" (for lack of a better word), then going absolutely nowhere with it. I mean the viewers were the only ones to see it, so it seems to strictly mean that something is alive in the water. Then nothing. WTF.
