Loved the trailer and was looking forward to this.

Maybe it's me but I thought the performances were solid. Loved the claustrophobia of the location, the dreariness of this rain-soaked anytown USA and the creep factor but I thought the pace was so slow you could drive a Mack truck through the pauses.

Toward the end I felt that there were scenes left on the cutting room floor that I would have liked to see that were replaced by talking heads telling me what I could have seen.

I loved Jake Gyllenhaal's character and wanted to see more of Paul Dano's. Strangely, I didn't feel anything for the two leads. Maybe Les Mis was getting in my way.

Flawed script aside and long running time, the movie does transport you.

And if you like gruesome, this is your movie.
