Why it’s a Weeknight Watch

It's still drawing plenty of interest, but middling reviews (42% on Rotten Tomatoes) and soft box office held it back. Fine if it's on; don't plan your night around it.

Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.

Is it for you?

Who'll love it
Made for anyone who likes to be kept guessing, horror fans and sci-fi fans. If you loved Contact or Disclosure Day, start here. Audiences love it more than critics do: a crowd-pleaser first.
The mood
Scary.
The pace
Takes its time with its characters, at 1 hr 49 min.
What might put you off
Rated PG-13: peril. Probably too much for younger kids.

After clearing brush for the government, a group of men return to town claiming their friend was abducted. Despite no apparent motive or evidence of foul play, no-one believes their story and his disappearance is treated as murder.
