While impressively made, this impassive and cold feature fails, in a spectacular fashion, to deliver the thrills.

Certainly acceptable. But no one seeing it is going to feel as spooked as executive producer Roy Lee. To make an audience feel that intensely, you need a different kind of director and a different kind of film.

The movie is meant to get into you like a virus, and it does.
