User Reviews

So what if it's low budget?

Sure it's Indie. Sure it's low budget. Sure it could use a better sound track. But this little movie has heart. Some fun dialogue. And a few twists. I'm a fan of the genre so I'm a little more accepting probably to the production value. It's a fun story with some memorable characters. Where did Callard Harris come from? What has he done before? He looks familiar but I can't place him. For the most part he stepped up to the role. As he gets older and more experience, he should be someone to look for. It exceeded my expectations for the obvious budget and is definitely worth a look for young Indie horror fans. I don't think there will be any action figures made out of this one, but who knows. It could get a cult following in years to come. Look at attack of the killer tomatoes.
