Strange occurrences plague a small town detective and his family as he investigates the disappearance of a young boy. The boy is riding his bike through the woods. He is yanked into thin air like he had come to the end of a rope? This boy joins a list of other missing kids in this small town. Greg Harper is trying to fit clues together before more disappearances occur. Other strange things start to happen. Greg gets locked in a closet? Silverware vanishes from the kitchen drawers? Greg’s favorite coffee mug is missing? A window repairman is let in while the family is away? Drones swoop around different locations and they sometimes look like they are going to crash into houses. Is there a chance that a supernatural force might be lurking. Or, is it nothing scary really happening?
This film has some good suspense and it does a pretty good job at being scary but there is also some head scratching moments for viewers. The story line is all over the place and there are many twists and turns. There is a problem with Helen Hunt's face? In the beginning, I thought it was part of the film? She must have some kind of filler or botox and her ability to speak clearly is compromised? 3* (This movie is OK)
Special Note: The waterfall and river exteriors were shot in downtown Chagrin Falls Ohio just outside Cleveland Ohio. Also, some filming was done in Bentleyville Ohio. This is a sci-fi horror movie with a teen in a world ten years after an apocalyptic event that leaves a world filled with ghosts. There are two suicides, stabbings, a choking and drowning, A teen says she will tell people she hooked up with a guy in exchange for his help.
