    Absolutely average

    100% on Rotten Tomatoes? An absolute joke. This is bang average as a 'horror' movie. I genuinely can't believe some of the reviews on here that describe this as scary as hell because it quite simply isn't, not at all. The cinematography is good, I'll give you that, but the acting is nothing special apart from the Doctor and the story is actually boring.

    Of course, judging a movie is down to the viewer but I genuinely can't get my head around the many glowing reviews for 'Next Of Kin'. Not a movie I would watch again. As for Rotten Tomatoes I am convinced that their ratings are meant to be a joke.
