User Reviews

No scares, just good laughs.

This film was a lot of fun. I am almost certain that Gina, Tony, Kevin, Billy, and Grant had a difficult time maintaining a straight face during the shooting of some scenes. That's what made this an interesting film. The youthful comedic approach to what may had seem to be a horrifying situation for the heroes of the film. Billy "Sly" Williams had the best line, "If I die and you don't, !@*# you". Raymond St. Jacobs did a fine job as well. This movie was done relatively well in spite of it's weak plot. I gave it a 6/10.
