Low budget horror that makes the most of its limitations; it delivers the requisite shocks with a black, comic touch.

You Have to watch this--READ ON
I loved this film.
It's not tacky and yes the dialogue is hilarious and the whole film is shot tastfully.
I jumped 3x and I love horror and with films like 'Cabin fever' & 'Wrong turn' this is So much better and has exceeded my expectations.
I must admit I was halfway through watching this thinking'what is this' I was also scared it was going to be one of those stupid endings but you will be nicely suprised as it all fits together and ties everything together.
Well worth a watch its fun and not too gory but in parts is really scary and spooky.Trust me what have you got to LOSE! -

Pitiful Attempt at Horror with a twist.
I am usually quite open-minded when it comes to Movies but I have to say that this is probably one of my all time worst films!!! Right from the start there are examples of 'wooden' acting and totally illogical human behaviour...I actually found myself almost laughing at how shockingly bad the storyline is. For those of you that haven't yet seen this movie, I won't ruin the story. The twist at the end is relatively predictable but does manage to pull the film out of the 1/2 star category...For those of you that have seen the film...I understand that the story is set in a place where illogical things may happen...But this really doesn't make up for it. If you want to watch a decent movie in the same Genre...Jacobs ladder is the one for you!!! Fantastic movie! Unfortunately, this one is not.
