Featured review
Much to my surprise, this film was actually an excellent horror flick, one that I plan to watch again some day. I am glad a friend of mine recommended the movie to me, I am just hoping others will find the time to look into it.
Even more, if the story actually is based on a "true story", I will shudder at the thought of it...
