“Iu0026#39;m not someone who requires a script to spell everything out or walk me through plot points, but you gotta give me SOMETHING to work with. Location and atmosphere are top-notch. Lead actress very authentic. She just didnu0026#39;t have much to do. Most of the u0026quot;actionu0026quot; – seriously like 90% – is our lead, Carrie, wandering around a creepy rail yard museum with a flashlight. Unfortunate, because the basic elements were there – location, cool horror premise, good acting, nice cinematography. But at the end of the day, things need to, you know, HAPPEN. And finally when something actually seems to happen, I seriously have no clue what it was. Mood can make or break a horror movie – and this one definitely has mood nailed – but without some sort of structure, the whole thing falls flat. I would actually like to see this re-made with a decent script – same location, same lead, same premise. There was wasted promise here.”
