It was fun to see the names of places I know as settings in the movie, even though it was obvious that indoor scenes were not shot on site, and it was weird that events in the movie depended on a fictional geography of MA. It started out good, more like a straight-up drama/thriller; it wasn't until the end that you were hit with a sci-fi whopper. Lots of scenes seemed contrived for dramatic effect. I don't like horror movies, and at least a minute or two of this movie felt like one.
