    not clever enough
    This movie seems to me to be trying too hard. It's too much and not enough all in one and unravels after a while.

    There are other detailed reviews so I won't go into the story, but a lot left me very frustrated.

    What's with the red overalls? They insist they're human, flesh and blood and just like their doppelgangers, but where is the evidence of any food or water below the surface? Just a bunch of dormitories and bunny rabbits - how did they procreate, or didn't they. How where they created when a new child was born up above?

    Why don't they speak - grunt, grunt... really? A lot of double jointed almost super powers too, very hard to kill - why - they're just "normal".

    I think it began well and then got lost up it's own bum.

    Was waiting for all the bad stuff people talking about....
    But it never came. The first time I have to disagree with the consensus here on IMDb. I really liked this movie.

    Dark, creepy, threatening atmosphere of impending doom.

    Good soundtrack featuring some classics.

    Likeable family,.... Liked the actors, the acting, the chemistry betwern them.

    The movie looked very good too.

    A detail perhaps but nice to see their friends were a white family.

    The antagonists we're spooky as hell! Was sitting at the edge of my seat almost the whole movie through! Without too much FX or blood this movie manages to be very scary at times!

    The premise of this film was very original. Never came across it anywhere else. Some people found it too impossible, too weird, nonsensical, beyond the limits of what they want to accept is possible in movies.

    I have to disagree with those folks. I've watched a lot of stuff going way further and besides, movies are stories born out of the imagination of a storyteller. To me, imagination has no boundaries.

    Give this one a chance.
