the guy this movie was by far one of the biggest mistakes of my life. it starts out slow and the height of the movie is barely noticeable, even when you're in the thick of it, because the whole movie is full of fake jump scares and build ups that leave you feeling empty and bored. the shaking lights are absolutely TERRIBLE, the monster is quite frankly sub-par, and really? montages of a dead dog? whats you're problem? none of the characters were very good, Lila screamed too much, and ed was a POS. they messed up Marty when trying to make a scary mentally ill character uwu (already a trope that's been beaten to death and is, quite frankly, boring) and ended up just being the only relatable character in the film, and he died within ten minutes. the only scary aspect of this movie is how bad it is. this movie was the longest running joke I've ever been a part of, and there wasn't even a punch line. don't bother with this one. (i gave it a two for Marty, the only enjoyable character)

Daniel Crescenti Three words: Waste of time...... please, do yourself a favor and watch something else. Please!!!! avoid this movie!!! It's nothing like the best of the X-files... not even like the worst!!! DO NOT WATCH IT... The actors are awful... it doesn't even got a good plot!!! I hate myself for having lost the time... and even more, because i watched the entire movie... The worst of all is the "agent" at the end... please!!!! Smith??? really?? you didn't have a brainstorm reunion before writing the script????!?!? And... what is supposed to be? a governmental agent? Thanks for wasting my time... Remember me when you watch the movie and think "this guy was right".

Steve Ramsey I seem to be in the minority here, but I really enjoyed Pod and I don't quite understand its low IMDb rating. Most of the negative reviews criticize the film for its lengthy scenes of dialog and lack of action or horror. I think the problem is expecting Pod to be a horror or sci-fi film that it isn't trying to be, possibly due to its trailer.The lengthy scenes of dialog and conflict were precisely what I enjoyed most about the movie. It's a solid script willing to take its time establishing the dynamics between all three siblings. Once brother and sister Lyla and Ed meet with their brother Martin, Pod unfolds as a psychological thriller. The tension grows until all hell breaks loose in the final act. Lauren Ashley Carter delivers a superb performance as Lyla, portraying a young woman in conflict with her family, yet conveying a real emotional connection to her siblings. When the action comes late in the film, Carter reaffirms my belief that she is THE Scream Queen of modern indie film.Brian Morvant also delivers a strong performance as the mentally unstable Martin. Is he schizophrenic or are his ramblings actually true? Morvant plays these scenes with conviction and believably. I was fascinated by the story and very anxious watching and wondering how it would unfold. Pod takes risks with its main characters in a way most big-budget films won't dare. Don't watch this movie expecting a sci-fi or horror film that plays out as you would expect, but rather take the time to enjoy the dialog and appreciate the performances.

lazymoon I can't believe this movie doesn't have a higher IMDb score. I found this movie to be engrossing, REALLY well-acted, and pretty darned scary. Obviously this is not a $200 million Hollywood blockbuster, but who needs constant special effects when much of the time the horror is in the dark and as terrifying as your imagination will permit? Is the brother facing an intervention from his siblings suffering from paranoia and mental illness, or is there really something in the basement? Or both? Kudos to the scriptwriter, the actors, the director and the cinematographer. Your efforts have not gone unnoticed, and you've earned the right to keep making movies. I know I'll be seeing you all again. Thanks for delivering a diamond in a sea of faux gems.
