Quick Review: The prologue set in Bhutan is sinister as hell, but after it the movie shifts tone and turns into a mumbo-jumbo supernatural teen horror, then transforms into a crime- solving occult thriller, dealing with a multi-layered LoveCraft-ish mystery that gets progressively intricate and twisted, and although the latter is riveting and enhanced by a chilling score and eerie atmospherics, "The Empty Man" is sluggish, draggy, low on scares, and overly esoteric, and its climax -- unsatisfying.

You know, whenever someone makes a movie that has even a Lovecraft feel to it, the film falls flat. Must be difficult to convey on the screen.
Alex, true that. They really tried though. It just wasn't particularly successfully.
Wtf does the ending mean
