Cool idea, failure in delivery....

I wanted to like this movie. It seemed really interesting, however, the movie was really disjointed and failed to actually convey what was going on. It needed more explanation to actually understand what was happening throughout the movie.

I am all for the use of ambiguity, as long as you setup the setting properly. As a fan of H.P. Lovecraft, he often left the reader hanging by restricting specific details, and only identifying how people went insane, mad, or otherwise based on traumatic events, or evil beings. Yet in this film, I was only left to briefly wonder what the premise was suppose to be about, and just moved on 5 minutes after the movie, because it was too vague and uninspiring. It failed to conjure worry, fear, apprehension, horror, immobilization, anxiety, etc... So, whats the point?

Either this movie was made from a book, and then they lost the point of the entire story, or the original idea was too simplistic, where the writers said "Lets make a movie about some alien force that alters biology, then scientists have to figure out whats happening." Well, you are going to spend millions of dollars on an idea like that? Sorry, but this movie failed.
