This reminded me of many movies

Paranormal Activity
Paranormal Entity
The Grudge
Poltergeist
100 Feet
seance movies I can't remember

I enjoyed it anyway. I rather what these Lovecraftian movies over the stupid slasher, cannibals and inbred killers.

I'd say less Americanized Pulse and more like it's original: Kairo.

I'll agree since I've never seen the original.

There is nothing Lovecraftian about this drivel.

I thought Lovecraftian are about the unknown. Regardless I still enjoy this over zombies and vampires as well.

Also had spots of "In the Mouth of Madness".


"I'd say this cloud is Cumulo Nimbus."
"Didn't he discover America?"
"Penfold, shush."

I liked it and it had a few things similar but didnt really remind me of one particular movie, I mean you could take any movie in the world of any genre and say it has a scene similar to any other movie! For the most part movies try to usually put everyday people into extraordinary circumstances so there are going to be some things that can't help but be similar, I didn't think anything was to copied tho to make it look like a ripoff. I actually thought it was pretty common idea made in an original way
