Based on true events in Point Pleasant, Virginia, the film examines a series of inexplicable occurrences through the eyes, and mind, of one man, a reporter who investigates a series of strange events, including psychic visions and the appearance of bizarre entities.
Director Mark Pellington hardly lets a moment pass without suggesting some bad vibes creeping onto the edges of the screen, but he's let down by Richard Hatem's script.

Messy but eerie.

Faced with such an unlikely mishmash of unexplainable events, you've given up believing anything by the time the popcorn's gone.
A gaudy yet grim science-fiction horror movie of such surpassing silliness, humorless intensity and stylistic overkill that watching it may actually put you in a state of paranoia. Why are these moviemakers persecuting us?

The stylish bleakness keeps you off-balance with unreliable narration and an unforgettable conclusion. The more it accelerates rant-and-rave paranoia, the greater it gets - a campfire-ready chiller whose subconscious embers glow long after it's over.
There are certainly strong moments and efficient set pieces here, too, but for all the claims that the film, adapted from a 1975 book by John Keel, is based on real events, Pellington fails to sustain credibility.
