Worth a watch indeed.

For a low budget picture, it's not a bad film at all really. It has a good solid story that holds this film together. You can say this story has been done many times before but creature with the ability to make them hallucinate through sound waves, i don't think that has been done before though. Still a really quite enjoyable movie, with some good characters.

If you like good old fashioned practical effects, then this is the film for you. Really great gore effects specially at the end 30 Min's. Plus Shawn and MJ from youtube are at the end of the film putting the cherry on top of this entertaining film. Shawn and MJ really great working as duo i really think they should do some comedy/horror partnership films.
