    Boring, awkward, inconsistent.
    Worst most boring and disturbing film I've ever seen. Don't waste your time watching it, it's over before it even started with nothing happening to maintain the viewers attention. I got the feeling of watching a school theatre project, the quality is no better than that. The producer seems to have just thrown a bunch of ideas without sorting through what's good or not. Frankly, it's a very weird film. If you're a film critic you might enjoy the experience but it's definitely not something you sit down and watch with your family a cosy Friday evening. Entertaining = 0 %.
