If you want to see a movie, this is certainly one. If you want to see an even remotely good movie, see anything else. It's not scary, it doesn't have a coherent plot, nor are the characters interesting or engaging. The actors try and that's something. I've seen worse looking movies, so there's something else. There was one jump scare pretty early on that got everyone in the theater jumping, but the few that followed were telegraphed from a mile away so as to ruin the jump-scariness. It wasn't even one of those so bad it's good kind of movies. That would have been okay. It was astoundingly unremarkable in every way. The end credits had about 6 consecutive title cards with the writer/director's name on them. That made me embarrassed for him at first, but then I thought: well, he wanted to make a movie and he did. That's a pretty big accomplishment. I mean, I've never made a movie. I'd like to think that, if I did, I could make one as good as this. So, in that way, it was inspirational.
