I’m having a hard time figuring out what to say about this, so the IMDB blurb will do: “After starting a job at an eerie hardware store, an anxious young man uncovers a shocking mystery that leads to a fight against terrifying forces that lurk just behind the walls.”
You know what? It’s a bad movie, sure. But… I liked it. It doesn’t take itself too seriously. A likeable, if perpetually worried-seeming, med student gets a part time job and a big hardware store where things gradually seem just a little bit off. The pacing is awful, but the third act is at least ambitious, more so than the first two acts leave you prepared for.
It’s a pretty badly flawed movie. Plot points are never wrapped up, and the pacing isn’t great, but… it does have a plot. And it’s an amusing one, at least. And, by the end, you can tell they at least made a real effort, not like a lot of crap horror films where they don’t quite bother all the way.
I has like 4 stars on IMDB, and I think it deserves a little better than that. I can totally understand people not liking it at all, but I also understand a handful of people here and there giving it 6 or 7 stars and saying things like, “Meet it on its own terms and it’s not all that bad.”
It’s undisputably a bad movie. But, if you go into it expecting that… you might find it a little more entertaining by the end than you expected. Only a little, but, yeah, a little.
