Woah - what a crazy ride! When I started the movie I had no idea of the story or what this movie is about, I just had classified it as a ‘thriller or a horror’ movie.

It started as a ordinary premonition kind of movie (the one you’d expect from any Stephen King movie) - and then it wandered everywhere… I mean this movie was totally over the charts. I dont even know how to describe it - its like, you are walking down the street, and suddenly you are inside a pink mango, being eaten by a porcelain tiger inside a pizza hut oven which sits on a bicycle leaving for Mars - confused by the leaps of plot points? Yeah, this movie was like that…

Luckily after it finished the crazy plot twists, it settled down to become a race against time thriller. And I saw some of the things which annoys me in movies -

1. Whilst the whole mankind is going to get eradicated if you dont stop the villian on time  - the hero pauses on screen to reflect on his fallen buddy, for like 30seconds, then slowly walks towards the hut as if he is returning a library book. No panic, not one iota of body language to indicate the seriousness of the suituation on hand. Not bad acting, but bad pacing (Editor’s mistake)
2. After wittnessing gronormous (big enormous) happenings (we are talking world shattering events), the character act so normal, as if he found out that the above said libary book has a $1 late fee. I mean, how would you react if you see blood all over your house, and see a dead body dumped inside a pool of red glue, and wierd sounds coming out of his body -
• Option A) run for your life
• Option B) poke at him (yeah you guessed right)

Seems Stephen King has a free pass (thanks to his popularity) to dish out out of the world crazy logic stories and still get Morgan Freeman to play the lead! If Morgan’s agent is reading this… I have a great script on a pink mango, porcelain tiger on a mission to mars.. interested?

Seriously, Stephen King reportedly sold the rights for this movie for $1! The studio thot it was a great bargain till the final bill came… the movie cost $95million to make, and got back $33million - some deal!

Shot on absolutely beautiful snow blanketted remote Canadaian Wilderness - This movie is a cocktail mix of Sci-Fi, Horror, Thriller, Grotesque, Fun, Buddy comedy movie about 4 friends bonding on a desolate mountain cabin. Fun while it lasts.
