BLACK ROCK [2013]

I like the Duplass Brothers, so I was eager to see them involved in another horror film, Black Rock, with them serving as executive producers and a script written by Mark.  Unfortunately it's directed by and stars his wife Katie Asleton and while she does a serviceable job in her acting role, she doesn't have a whole lot going for her in the director's chair.
The pacing and all the performances are great, however it never really amounts to much in originality or really any point at all.  There's a few tense moments but are somewhat watered down by some questionably dumb tactics made by the characters.  In the end, I found it to be reasonably entertaining but needed much more depth and thought put into it.
