This was close to a 5 but, had to knock it to 4 because of some of the over the top visuals and the occasional poor acting and writing. Overall though, the idea was unique, solid and thought out. I absolutely loved the 80's vibe from this movie and wonder if that played a bigger role in why I enjoyed it as I did. I asked myself, would I have liked this without the 80's feel? The answer is, probably not. That being said, the vibe lends itself well to this particular theme. It felt like a much more feasible experiment to be done in 80's, so bravo to that! The overall look of the movie was great, well produced and solid cinematography. I look forward to seeing what Guzman does next!

Not great, but I have seen worse.

I absolutely love horror and will watch any and every flick that comes my way. I am not sure why most low budget movies find it so difficult to write a believable script and hire talent to deliver. This movie is yet another example of this problem with low budget horror. The idea and execution were not the worst I have ever seen and some of the FX were actually good. I always enjoy a good monster movie, so the watch was certainly not a waste of time, but on grand scale of things, it lands at a 3 out of 10. The director, Sheets, seems like a very likeable guy and I hope he goes on to do bigger things in the future! I think if he had a good script supervisor, a casting director and found some competent actors (they are out there), he could go somewhere. Good luck Mr. Sheets, please keep at it, just because your budget is small, doesn't mean you can't class it up a little. You can do it!
