User Reviews

This it total Cult!

Everyday films are being produced and come out,trying to be real cult,scary etc. but because there isn't anything more brutal than reality itself forget all that, here is the real deal! cult but exceptional script, many many cult star in here acting and a lethal mix of crime/thriller with a touch of gore! you are nailed as you watch it and forget anything else! It's a film truly inspired and made with passion. Influences come not only from Greek 80s cult thriller masterpieces (for example : Ta Katharmata and more) but from foreign movies too. If you want to see something original,something that will shake you then don't miss it! such films don't come out anymore! get it!

ps. If ever the Greek cinema industry resurrects making some serious things this will be in the classics hall of fame.
