I'm not picky at all about horror movies I watch. I forgive all the elements that are redundant, predictable, and tripe. I watch for the things that surprise me, and make me glad to see that something was done well. It might be something trivial, a specific shot, a good location, a particular scene that was inspired. Sadly, this movie missed out on most of those things. There was nothing in the movie that was noteworthy. The performances were stock. It's hard to tell if the sets were any good, since they cast everything in shadow. The story itself was derivative, pulled mostly from pregnancy themed horror movies (at least only in the sense that pregnancy is used as a means of giving the heroine something to protect) and otherwise, a large amount was borrowed from The Shining. These aren't bad things to borrow from. The problem is only that they didn't do it well. The movie is otherwise competent. Sound is a little unbalanced, with the soundtrack too loud compared to the dialogue. I've noticed this trend as well. I think it's connected to the sound being mixed to be played on theater sound systems - or at least 5.1 systems.
I always get more disappointed with movies like this than I do in notably bad productions. In these cases, I know that I'll forget everything about the movie in a few days, and when I see the cover again, I'll forget that I've already seen it.
