Considering horror movies are generally awful and Shyamalan's name is attached to this, I had really low expectations. It's surprisingly decent, however, and doesn't feel completely cookie cutter like so many horrors. The worst part of the movie is by far the Mexican character, who is a "magical negro" and also a really lazy out for the writers to explain whats going on. Pretty much every time he was on screen I was rolling my eyes.

A more condensed, less magical negro reliant version of this movie would have made for a great Twilight Zone episode. As it is, it's just not quite good enough to recommend, but maybe worth checking out if it's on instant-streaming on Netflix and you have time to kill.

2.5/5
