User Reviews

A good movie based on the budget.

I have been watching a lot of movies from the horror/thriller genre lately. I like the story built around this movie. It had the usual twists, nudity, blood and guts, that is called for. This title ranks a lot higher than others that I have seen and have gotten a lot more praise for. Compare this to movies like Evil Dead, etc., and they did a good job comparably.

With all movies there are always ideas that could be tweaked. I would have liked one of character's brought into the film a lot earlier. I thought the special effects were right on budget. I liked the acting on most of the actors, some less desirable. Overall good work and worth a watch.
