Though it wouldn't surprise me if this ends up being just as long as my regular reviews, because I just find shit to talk about. Anyway, this is a damn good psychological horror that focuses more on Wyatt's mental health issues and whether what he says is actually true or not.

If you're looking for a straight-up horror, then this is the wrong movie for you, since it relies mostly on Wyatt perceiving that the people around him have been replaced by creatures, who look just like people The film deals with Wyatt's preparations, as he's one of the only few people on earth that is able to distinguish who is a monster and who is a real, as he is visiting his friend in New York. Wyatt receives phone calls every night giving him instructions or telling him to not trust anybody he knows as they could've been taken over by the creatures.

The thing about the movie is that it does have a sense of humor, in spite of telling a very serious story, about one man's struggles with certain mental issues that have him believing that the world is being taken over by creatures that look just like human. I'm not saying the movie is hilarious, it's not that, but there are some instances where the movie will make you laugh. But I think it also serves in strengthening the friendship that Christian and Wyatt used to have before Christian went off to college and didn't see him again until the film's events.
And, really, at it core, this movie is all about that friendship between them. It's not a male bonding, dudebro movie, which is what people seem to think whenever they see a movie about guys bonding, an absurd notion. The movie is more about Christian being there for his best friend in his time of need.

Even if what Wyatt believes eventually put Christian's life in danger. In a lot of cases, particularly in the case of schizophrenics, you would see some people distancing themselves from friends with this affliction due to fear that they may get violent at any moment.

And I'm not judging anyone for that, people do what they must to feel the safest they can. Again, I'm not judging as I've never been put in a situation where I have a friend who's schizophrenic. But this film sees Christian stick around Wyatt when he needs him the most. Even if that means listening to every one of Wyatt's delusions and going along with the plan to escape or hide from the monsters. It even goes as far as Christian letting Wyatt tie him up to a chair with a gag in his mouth. So, again, the film is more about Christian's dedication to his best friend and how he's willing to do absolutely anything to help.
And I thought that was a really smart choice, because, at the end, it doesn't boil down to Wyatt's issues, well I mean it does, but it's all bout the fact that Christian was willing to go with Wyatt on whatever he said in order to help him. That's a really smart choice, because it feels like something real and easy to relate to.
That willingness to go as far as it takes for someone you love is something that, I thin, we can all relate to. It's probable that they were already close friends prior to this and that's why their friendship feels so genuine. Wyatt instead convinces him to leave the city and prepare for the coming apocalypse. Christian agrees, as long as Wyatt attends his psychiatric appointment.

Horror websites Fangoria and Dread Central both wrote positive reviews for the film; Dread Central's Ari Drew wrote that it was "a deliberately paced and subdued stunner of a film that succeeds above all in its genuine approach of concern and respect for its realistically horrifying subject matter.

Nothing overly gory, but enough to deliver a shock. Blackshear, who also served as writer, editor, cinematographer, and production designer, uses shadows and sound to a powerful, panic-inducing degree where the audience is never sure where the scares are going to come from.
All this tension and the decaying friendship of Wyatt and Christian culminate in a scene of nearly unbearable tension.
A line is drawn in the sand and the two friends cross over it, leading to a seriously gut-wrenching final minutes. That is what makes it so goddamn scary. Patrick writes stuff about stuff for Bloody and Collider. He'll have a ginger ale, thanks.
