Quite the head trip. To say much more would spoil the fun.

Early scenes prove an exception to most of this genre du jour's tired rules, which makes it especially disappointing when the third act does little more than reinforce them.

A nature-meets-nightmare tale that unfortunately gets lost in its own thicket of tricks.

It's creepy, it has great acting, a unique storyline, and it is the kind of film you can discuss with people long after it's over and still find new things to talk about.

It all gets very artsy and weird in Act III (and I watched it twice) but hey, I'll take a bit of cerebral effort over just a bunch of door-slamming and bloodletting.

There's a shred of an interesting idea in Mr. Jones, but the film is far too unfocused, sloppy, and downright dull to leave any kind of impact.

Feverish horror phantasmagoria is not much more than that; a comprehensible gets lost on the way.

Started out o.k., but got way stupid and strange and boring.

I am genuinely surprised at the poor reviews for this movie. I stumbled upon this on Netflix and took a chance. I was not disappointed. This is proof that a lot of lower-budget films are better than the crap Hollywood throws out constantly. The concept and idea behind the story is really original. The events that occur throughout are, as well. I wanted to know what would happen to the characters, but at the same time I was so mystified by the events that were occurring and wanted to keep watching. The nighttime sequences were oddly trippy. I can see how the end would not please everyone, but I liked how it was nothing like what we would have expected. This was a good little gem and I'm glad I watched it.

A film that grows with the passing of time. Damnably confusing but with some wonderful imagery and ideas. A haunting, living nightmare.
