For a while, it works, until it suddenly decides to abandon the "what you don't see is scarier than what you do see" for a ridiculous and ultimately insulting explanatory ending.

A young couple leads a happy, quiet life in the countryside. But little do they know when night falls; the couple will come face to face with Them. They are everywhere, even in their home. Who are they? What do they want? The answers will take them to the limits of fear itself.
We hate to say it, but we can't find anywhere to view this film.

What are critics saying?
New York Daily News by Jack Mathews
If you want an hour or so of terror, put your faith in Them.
The Hollywood Reporter by Kirk Honeycutt
The ending underscores the old cliche about the banality of evil but getting there is meant to be the whole fun. For some people at least.
Romania-set scare-fest deploys the full cinematic vocabulary of creepy sounds and hostile intruders.
TV Guide Magazine by Maitland McDonagh
There's no time wasted and no showy effects to detract from the situation -- just sheer tension.
Entertainment Weekly by Owen Gleiberman
You'd better deliver the goods. And Them, despite some moody imagery out of the "Blair Witch" school, never does.
A welcome change from horror movies like "Hostel' and "Saw" and their mind-numbing gore and violence.
