Wow. Uh... ok. The acting and cinematography were actually really good. It had some serious creep factor stuff going on around our host. I thought his character was extremely well acted by Mr. Gilyard. Porter is a kook from start to finish, and I can see him rightfully causing quite a bit of unease in the rest of the characters...as he very effectively does. But that, dear friends, is where the thrills end. What it all leads up to I found to be...very underwhelming and completely unclear, and ultimately it is never explained to give any of the events leading up to it any real meaning. Maybe that was the point. In which case, it was wholly effective. Unfortunately it just didn't culminate into something that I felt the performances and preceding events were worthy of. It's very seldom that something goes completely over my head or that I can't discern some meaning from, but it's not impossible by any means. Strong performances though and it gave off a really eerie vibe while it was still holding together. It lost me once the guy in the cape and plague doctor mask came in, and they all go upstairs.
score 5/10
