Unoriginal, predictable, insipid, and worst of all, the acting is abysmal. Wish I could reclaim the time I spent on this garbage fire of a movie. I stuck with it, thinking, "No movie in 2023 could be this awful." Nope - I was wrong. This one is just terrible. PLEASE don't waste your time on this one. At best, it is a well-worn plot that could have been told in a 3-minute short. You find yourself hoping that the protagonist will be swallowed up by an earthbound hell-worm - anything to make the film end. I couldn't possibly spoil anything here, since, by reading the title of the movie, you already know exactly what is going to happen. Going to find my thesaurus to find more synonyms for "horrible" now . . .

The movie gets a 3/10 only because of the premise which I like and the acting of Veronica, that's all it gets. There's many issues with this movie, and I'll cut it some slack as you know the budget wasn't great for this, however, this doesn't mean I'll disregard every problem that it has.

My worst complaint here is the audio mixing, it's terrible! I haven't seen a movie with such bad audio in a lot of time. 90s movies had better audio balancing than this! A character could speak from anywhere from the camera and they would be heard the same, be it next to it or far away, it all sounds the same.

The pacing was also a nightmare. I consider myself a patient person and even I had to skip through minutes of nothing throughout the movie. There's a chance that skipping 15 minutes ahead won't make you miss anything, and this doesn't mean anything good with any movie, even more so when the runtime is on the shorter side for this decade.

Overall, a disappointment with a lot more downs than ups, 3/10, would not recommend.

Warning, do not fast forward any part of this, you might miss something that explains what is going on and you will be forced to rewind it and watch it again.

Veronica Grey (Morgan Boss-Maltais) did play this part well, however, with the pace of the movie a little slow and the runtime too long for this story, I lost interest in the plot and the story itself became a "what" "huh" moment, more than once.

Mrs Bloom (Carla Kidd) play off against Miss Grey well, sometimes and other times her presence was like the "what" "huh" moments I mentioned above.

Joe (Adonis Ringo) brought nothing but "huh" moments to the story, he did this rather well. Perhaps he was only included because his name was Adonis.

I realised that while writing this, I dropped the rating down to 3 "what" says something about the movie. I'm hoping that Morgan Boss-Maltais gets some better roles. Would I recommend this? Nope.

Holy Smokes , where do I begin on the stupidity of this movie ? First of all Miss gray has to be the stupidest woman I've ever met in my life she has so many chances leave but she just keeps on staying. The whole movie just makes no sense at all the acting is horrendous the old lady you just hate her so bad you just want this movie to end but it keeps going on and on and Miss gray keeps staying there talk about a horrible job this should never been made and what's with the pancake makeup all over that old lady just a horrendous movie avoid at all costs and you will thank me later wow talk about horrible.

I was pleasantly surprised with what I got out of this film. Given the budget I never stopped being impressed by how well this movie was done. Any low budget film requires good casting and talented crew members and this one clearly has those elements. This is not a jump scare horror film, if you are looking for that you won't get it. This is a slow burn that the soundtrack does a great job of establishing the mood for throughout. The film is not without flaws but I sincerely believe this it could stand up to 90% of the big budget horror films currently coming out of Hollywood. Any true fan of horror films should thoroughly enjoy this one.
