No pun intended - another low budget horror movie. For some that might be a red flag, but those who love independent horror will cherish this movie, that is slow paced, but never fails to deliver on the premise - to tell a good story and scare you along the way.

One of the things I love with movies like this: characters that are believable. Yes you may be able to guess a few things and not be too surprised by any twist coming your way. But the characters do have their reasons for acting (no pun intended once again) the way they do.

Not sure if the directors will do any additional effects work, but the version we got to see at Frightfest was pretty tight and good looking already. Cinematography was quite nice, again not sure if there will be some color grading or other stuff of that nature. The movie would warrant at least another viewing with the knowledge of where it ends up - endings can make or break a movie, I thought it was in tune with the tone the movie set out and had throughout.

Not sure when I will be able to post the review, since the movie currently has a release date in 2024 - but I hope it gets the distribution it deserves and am looking forward to seeing more of all involved.
