Same. I was all set to see it then mom's flaked on us and I never got to it and it left the theater quick.

Knew nothing about this movie except the title, I just wanted to see a good movie and it wasn't there, at all.
There was just nothing in the script. I don't care about being misleaded by title or genre, or even the slow pace...but damn this shyt was just empty.
The only action happening was due to 2 or 3 foolish things that wasn't believable for me.

Yeah, acting and camera work aren't bad but it's not like there was a difficulty to do so or special ideas into.

No hate but boring and pointless movie.

I think it should have been longer to explain stuff more. I still don't know wtf "IT" is. The virus? And what's up with Travis' nightmares?

I'd give it a 6.5/10. Unless I missed something. Might be a 7.

Movie was actually really good...

It could have been great if they had you know...cleaned up the one enormous plot hole of the movie...which i guess they tried to do with Travis nightmares...or maybe not...

This really isn't a horror movie, and I think they did themselves a disservice calling it that. At the end, a lot of the younger people in my theatre sounded disappointed, judging by the groans, laughter and the "I'm never letting you pick a movie again" declaration.

I personally enjoyed it, especially once I let go of the fact that this wasn't going to be a traditional horror movie. What it is I think is a type of psychological horror film akin to the mind fukks humans can do to themselves and others when survival is on the line. In that way, I though there were a lot of parallels in movie to The Walking Dead. Not the zombies because there were no real objective monsters here, but there are monsters living inside of the people who are desperate to survive. There's a constant thread of tension throughout the movie, and it never really gives away where its going. There are a couple of fake-outs, where I thought it was about to go one way and it went another. But once I realized where it was really going, I was on the edge of my seat waiting for it to play out the way it did. I think the performances here are what made it such a strong movie, and the pacing. I can see some people getting impatient, especially if they're waiting for a monster to show up. But in terms of building psychological tension, this was masterful. We really got to know the different characters, and then the movie turns what we think we know on it's head, and you realize that in a situation like this, people may not act like themselves, so neither they or the audience should get too comfortable.

The ending is pretty...Shakespearean. That's all I'll say about it.

To be honest, I don't think a lot of people will like this movie, but I enjoyed it because it was different, and focused more on the horror of being survivor in this situation, which really would be it's own kind of hell.

I'd give it a 8.5/10 just because of false advertisement, and I think this is one of those movies that once you know how things go down, the tension and fun wouldn't be there for repeat viewings.

This movie did the best job of building psychological tension any movie has in years...

Edgerton was masterful in this to...I'm now going to be checking for anything he is in going forward...

Not nearly as bad as I was expecting it to be... I assumed that people in the wilderness killed the dog and then left it at Paul's house to shake him up... As for the ending, I feel like the look they gave to each other was saying that they were infected too.
