I don't know what vision they set out with when they were making this movie but I don't think it came out the way they thought it would. They're telling a compelling story on a low budget and while the story is intriguing the movie is not the biggest problem is that the protagonist is thoroughly unlikable which does not help to build any tension when things don't go his way. The other characters are not engaging enough to build suspense and that means that the horror element is lacking. It is not a bad movie, and it certainly has a lot of heart, but it doesn't quite get where it needs to go.
