User Reviews

The worst film I have ever seen!

This film is absolutely terrible. I really wish that I had read previous reviews before watching the film.

It doesn't even deserve one star. It is so bad, it made me sign up to this site to write my first ever review.

When the closest the director had come to being part of a horror film was playing the role of a paralysed victim in 'Saw' it really says something about the quality that the film is going to be.

The story makes no sense what so ever, the acting is some of the worst that I have ever seen, the characters have no depth at all and the FX are so unbelievably bad, all of the props could have easily been found on Blackpool Promenade. The film actually made one and a half hours feel like a lifetime. I was hoping each scene was the last but kept thinking that it must get better... it didn't.

Avoid this film, do not let anyone talk you into watching it, if you do you will seriously regret it.
