Not a bad movie... Not at all...

Considering the budget these guys were working with, they seemed to handle their own pretty well. A few unthoughtful lines from the characters, but overall, It was a flick that any horror fan wouldn't walk away from, (that disappointed) I'm no "Movie Reviewer" but I know what I like, and I'd like to think I know what's good. So, with that said, I gave this movie a strong 6, because I believe it deserves a higher rating than what it has right now.

Also keeping in mind the budget they had, made do with what they had, and seemed to me to have pulled it off rather well. The actors were well believed in the most part, except for a few lines here and there mostly from the paralyzed guy.

Good work guys.
