Story needs development

As expected from a movie based on a video game, the main characters here spend a lot of time shooting other people.

To its credit, there were some attempts at a creating a story, but for one who does not play the videogame, I left the theater with unresolved questions about the supernatural beings.

The movie ended before anything satisfactory happened in the story.
