Not to mention amazingly boring with no payoff at the end. Not the worst I've seen, but pretty bad. That theme song they felt the need to play over and over and over again every other scene...
shareThe repetition of the theme song was probably intended to carry some emotional theme, but it ended up being incredibly annoying. And the soundtrack did not emphasise the shock moments at all, so they mostly failed horribly.
"Do you buy all your murder weapons at Home Depot?"
Could you even call it music? It was horrible.
shareMusic was one of best parts of this movie. So.. i cant agree at all.
shareYeah, I thought the music was awesome too, really created the amostsphere.
shareI can't bring myself to call that background racket "music"! It almost ruined the whole movie for me, I'm hard of hearing, but that racket was just so annoying! Other than that, I thought it was a pretty decent film, something a little different for a change.

What music? It sounds like somebody fell asleep while playing the organ and their nose was pressing down a single key through most of the movie as they drooled all over they keyboard.
Another low budget piece of crud.

If your definition of a good movie is a fast paced Hollywood cliche-fest then no, this isn't a film for you.
But if you like a Lovecraftianesuqe drama/horror with slow pace and requirement for a little after thought, you're in luck.
Finally I have found a thread that I can relate to about this movie. When I first watched it last night maybe I was just a little sleepy but I kept dozing off for most of the second half of the movie.
I woke up to re-watch the second half over to catch up on the parts that I missed and tried to make some sense out of the film.
It actually kept me entertained throughout the whole film, once I was able to ignore the music. I was really hoping for some spectacular breakthrough at the end to understand more clearly about what or whom was keeping these people kidnapped and trading them back and forth.
Then I come to here to the board and start reading peoples take on the movie.
I surely don't buy all of this metaphysical metaphor hogwash that some are making it out to be. Okay, maybe some of it may be true.
Daniel was in fact missing for seven years and mysteriously returned wearing the same clothes, with his wallet still in his pocket as it was when he first disappeared. The sisters knew it, the police saw it. It was REAL!
Now of course I do realized the fact that at least one of the sisters was doing some hallucinogenic drugs and that I needed to interpret which segments of what they saw were real and which segments weren't. I know that the warping ceiling in the girls home was most definitely the result the drugs, but something really weird was going on underground that we never really learned about, and there were people missing left and right.
I would be fine with the ending of the movie if it was meant to be continued with a future sequel, but I highly doubt that would happen.
Agreed. Really really bad writing; annoying background noise (droning tones are not music; sounded more like machinery in a factory) that drowned out dialogue in several scenes.
This is the kind of awful writing that makes me shout at the screen. During the last 15 or so minutes of the film I was shouting at the detectives:
GO AND LOOK IN THE TUNNEL, IDIOTS!!!!
The non-pregnant sister tells the detectives about the tunnel, and leaves them printouts from the internet reports on the 100 years of missing people, and yet the most that the two idiot detectives do about it is to sit in their office and trade "scenarios" on what might have happened.
The body of a man who was missing for years is found at the entrance to the tunnel, yet the police never go inside it to investigate.
At the very end, when one detective is near the entrance to the tunnel, posting a Missing flyer, and sees a woman standing at the entrance to the tunnel -- even THEN he doesn't go into the tunnel to investigate.
Yes, one sister was on drugs, and may have hallucinated.
But what drugs were the two detectives taking that made them so lethargic and incompetent?
The music kind of reminded me of the music in Twin Peaks... well, not exactly. i think the music tried to give the same vibe that the music in Twin Peaks gave..
