Horror fans: this one's sort of off. The direction it takes is interesting but it never fully commits to being the over-the-top schlock it should've been. Personally, the lead actor (the boy) made the already semi-interesting plot even less interesting. It's funny in a sick way, but then again it's not THAT sick. It almost feels like it's trying too hard to be surprising and violent (the violence isn't done well either).
The pacing fizzles around the second act and then it drudges on till the end which made me say, "meh." From a technical perspective it's a competent movie, and most of the acting is good, but from a horror perspective it feels derivative and flat.
