Kind of a mix of different horror/thriller tropes. Take the secretive society in Scanners, add a little bit of The Shining, throw in a bit of John Wick revenge and sprinkle a dash cynical me-too exploitation and you have this film.
That's not to say it's unwatchable, it's a lot better than many of the reviews suggest. Yes it's a slower paced movie but I didn't see this as a disadvantage, on the contrary, I thought it gave to story time to develop. However, I would agree that this film desperately needed a massive revenge gore murder spree to liven the end up.
It kind of started heading in an interesting direction, took too long to get to its destination and then kind of flopped through the door somewhat unspectacularly.
