A few friends and I had the pleasure of screening this movie yesterday and my summary title of the review is kind of the first thing that was said as we walked out of the screening. Don't pay it, don't see it. It was more comical than scary in my opinion, I think the movie could have gone a handful of better directions to actually be considered a horror movie. The CGI dog was pretty bad. The premise was good, but really didn't go anywhere. I wanted to like it but I expected horror, not finding ourselves laughing among ourselves. The acting was OK, seemed forced in some areas. I did like to see another movie filmed in Cleveland.
