Not too bad.. A bit of a weird take on tooth fairies but I liked it.

Excellent scares! Wonderful monster film with good mood setting and a dynamite lead performance from Bailee Madison. You really fear for this kid and the little creatures, while I wasn't a fan of the CGI, were creepy enough...particularly when they were only voices lilting in from the heat register.

Absolutely terrible movie. Generic, nonsensical plot and awful characters. The "creatures" are really uncreative, and it really wasn't scary at all. It felt very cheap overall too, like watching one of the old gremlin movies. Also, the movie really falls apart towards the end with the last 25-30 minutes becoming especially hard to pull through. It all comes down in one of the worst endings I have ever seen in a horror movie. Don't watch this.

It's not scary but disturbing. The little creatures are quite savage!! I read the other comments, there are things that are not logical but it's part of the movie. There could have been more information given about those creatures. They have no name, no real story.... Just a few drawings and lines.... I do like it! You can't always have blood, violence with kids around. They made it simple but effective. :heart::heart::thumbsup:

Oh, this is the stuff. How I’ve missed great horror. American studios have, by and large, ignored producing truly great horror over mindless pablum like Final Destination 6, or Saw 23, or Nostalgic Horror Film Remake 117. Slashers, gore-fests, dead teenager movies and all the other imagination-bar More

This remake of the 1973 cheesy, but effective made-for-TV movie is a bummer overall. I wanted to like this because Guillermo del Toro produced it. He keeps working on projects that interest me. Everything he has a hand in looks great, but none of his movies have ever really blown me away. "Don't More
