I didn't see a trailer, didn't anticipate much and was pleasantly surprised as the story line and flow keep you entertained.
However, many smaller aspects just don't stand up and while it was worth watching, can't say I'd see it again.
The acting was hit or miss, but generally a lack of real emotion for most of the film that made it underwhelming. Their responses to events (that would excite 99% of people) give off a ho-hum vibe. In fairness the actors weren't set up well as the writing for some dialogue was off the mark.
A LOT of practical/non-supernatural aspects of the story were implausible, with huge gaps as to how people or agencies react to events. (Someone disappears with seemingly no investigation? The spouse is told 'I don't want to see you again!' by Social Services for doing what any parent would have done?). In some respects, these parts are even less logical than the dream-driven sequences.
Supernatural pieces themselves were inconsistent, though overall not much to complain about. Don't expect to be scared, though it's not really that kind of horror movie.
Flaws aside, if you aren't expecting much then chances are you'll like the film.
