The underlying story idea is good, and the 'monster' parts have been done fairly well, but this just didn't engage me. It feels like it needs to be fleshed out more, and a lot of supporting details are unlikely. Nick is apparently claustrophobic, but doesn't act like it. His phobia should have been utilised far more in the story, or left out. Overall, the suspense was lacking , partially because I didn't feel like I knew the characters beyond names and some very basic details.
