  Dull Rubbish.
  
  Very badly acted & boring movie nonsense.
  
  Avoid this one as there is zero entertainment value to it what-so-ever!. No point to it ever being made... read more »

  Absolute rubbish
  
  I am not sure if this was supposed to be a horror or a comedy but to be honest it completely misses both genres. It isn't scary and it isn't funny.read more »
