Rated - 2 starsHelp me out on this one….

phil from Yorkshire, England. [Highly rated reviewer] , 17/10/2007

The screenwriter on the DVD extras maintains that this is an original piece that he came up with the concept for whilst on holiday in New Mexico. It became really apparent very quickly whilst watching this that I had seen something virtually identical to it a long time back. This feeling got confirmed as I started recognising scenes and knew exactly what was going to happen – even some of the dialogue. Is it just a cheesy shlock horror rehash?

Rated - 4 starsGood old Fashion horror!!

A customer from Wales , 19/09/2007

It's good to see that films like this are coming back in!!!

With all the recent gross out blood & guts horrors such as the saws & hostels, which don't apeal to everybody, it's nice to see a cheesy good boo flick.

It's got all the jumps & thrills of a horror without excluding those of us who are a tad squirmish!!

Got to be honest i enjoyed it BUT.....

It just wasnt amazing, kinda like Hitchcock at his worst(not an overly bad thing). Probably would've fit in better as one of those Masters of Horror episodes.

It wanted to explore the realm of snuff like Hostel and My Little Eye but simply didnt want to get its hands dirty!

Didnt help that the people i saw it with huffed and puffed throughout really not enjoying it.

Nothing new, nothing scary, nothing memorable, but solid enough and better than not watching anything!

A slow start but gets alot better, scary parts and jumpy parts in the film make it exciting and a good ending, a good watch on a dark night in.
