It just didn't amount to a hill of beans, but I give it extra props for a good first time director and a few alright jump scares (which made up the entire movie, by the way). I don't recommend this movie, unless you can get in for free like I did.
I liked it a bit better than you. I give it a 7/10. I'd give it an 8/10 had I left the theater the moment I saw the two boys again towards the end.

That's not a spoiler either so don't go nuts yelling at me for not using spoiler tags if you haven't seen it yet.
