OK, the early scenes were a bit trite and tiresome. Of course they had to enter an abandoned house in the middle of the desert at night. How cliché. After that, though, it gets really interesting and gripping. At no time was I able to predict the twists in the plot, and none of those twists caused me to go "Oh, C'mon, really?". Each development of the plot seemed believable (within the context of a sci-fi movie) and consistent. You are slowly drawn into a nightmarish world where nothing is what it seems, there is a semblance of normality but is only a veneer that can be easily scratched. The main character was not heroic, but a pretty bright person with good powers of observation, which continually told him there was something fundamentally wrong with the whole situation. I was very impressed at how the development of the central theme held my attention and kept me guessing and asking for more. And the end, wow! that alone was worth the wait. Great story and well presented.
