As a fan of horror movies and bizarre movies, I've watched quite a few from the most horrid that makes me wonder why I waste my time on such trash, to the excellent that revives my faith in the movie world. This movie would fall about in between. Not very memorable, yet it did have that certain something that keeps you thinking about it after it is done. What I got from the story and the dialog, is that Jake never really knew if his day mares were real, or just his imagination. Were they visions or hallucinations? When the store was robbed and the owner swore it was Jake, having previewed the tape earlier, it was strange that the tape showed the owner himself stealing, so, we knew, or thought we knew that the game was controlling situations. For all the killings, they seemed murder/suicide, but Jake didn't seem to be involved, which didn't really mean he wasn't.
However, at the end, when Jake wakes up in the middle of with blood in his mouth, dead people around and he trying to figure out, did he do all the killings, and were the day mares just his way of escaping from the truth of what he was doing, or did it really happen and he's now paying the price of being the demon's son? Kind of funky. I gave it a 7 for original idea, but it could have been better told.
