Be Afraid
Not long after John Chambers and his family arrive at their new home in a small country town of Pennsylvania, John begins to experience sleep paralysis. Lying there paralyzed, trapped within his own nightmare, other-worldly beings visit John. They are entities which exist in the darkest shadows of the night and can only be seen out of the corner of one's eye. These encounters begin to haunt John, transforming to complete terror as he discovers the entities' sole purpose... the abduction of his seven year old son. In the end, John will uncover the town's horrific secret, a portal on his land, and make one last attempt to save his son before the shadow people permanently take him away to their world.

Reviews
Good story, Not enough for a whole film
It's funny, it's tense, it features two great performances from two actors and the director expertly creates a web of odd tension where you actually don't know what is happening for the majority of the run time.
It is a whirlwind of delight --- attractive actors, stunning couture, spectacular sets and outrageous parties.
This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.
A solid story, good acting and sufficiently spooky!
I should have read the reviews before wasting an hour and half that I will never ever get back. It's a small town with a string of missing children and unusual circumstances witnessed by it's residents yet the movie indicates that most town folk are clueless. The theme of the movie is promising; however, the supporting story lines lead the viewer to multiple dead ends and does everything but support the movie plot. The movie addresses the "who" and the "how" but completely ignores the "what" and "why." If I were in watching this in a theater, then I would have walked out midway and demanded my money back or movie credit.
The complaints of the negative reviewers on this page are warranted. The movie sets up a lot of good character arcs and plot lines and then just leaves them completely hung out to dry. It's really odd that no attempt is given to explain the origin of the creatures or the town's predicament. However, the movie still scared the crap out of me. I suffered from sleep paralysis for years, however, and anything that even somewhat accurately depicts the condition tends to get under my skin. I feel like the movie underachieved in regards to realizing a potentially terrific story, exploring the importance and difficulty of family and the role of being a father. Still, the first 4/5 of the movie gave me legitimate willies. The end annoyed me, but I don't want to say too much about that and spoil it. When all is said and done, there were definitely big problems with the movie, but I have to rate it high, personally, because I spent a huge portion of the film with fear-electricity running all over my skin. If you've ever suffered from sleep paralysis, this film might trigger some serious apprehension. It did for me.
Yes, you have to be afraid, you will lose one hour and half of your time watching a low budget horror film with no real story. A town terrified of the shadows yet too stupid to turn on some lights. I saw many stupid films but this one is in the top ten. Only one question remains : who can rate 10 for that crap???
