    Super fun film

    I always like films like this! I must say, this film came through. I enjoyed the trailer and it did a good job letting me know what I would be in store for. This film had a good opening which helped me get grounded, it got me connected. They did a good job mixing in the humor. This is very tricky with a horror film and if you're not careful you can have a train wreck on your hands. Well this film pulled it all off.... so a solid thumbs up from me!

    Classic Horror FIlm

    Immediately viewers will be creeped out by the 70's style intro and the synth soundtrack as the main characters are taken for a nightmare of a weekend at the First House on the Hill. The film begins with the classic setup of young people taking a vacation in a "creeptastic" location, but the twists and turns that unfold are hardly expected.

    The cinematography is eerie and uncomfortable in a good way as no one can ever quite feel relaxed along the way. Fans of horror will not be disappointed in this one.

    A fun indie horror

    I really enjoyed the underlying creepy tone to this story and that really developed the atmosphere of the world pretty well. The jump scares, cinematography overall vibe of this movie make it well worth the watch!

    Nice little Giallo

    I selected this movie for my filmfestival in Hannover and it even became 2nd in the audience vote. It is a nice little hommage to the Giallos with strong vivid colours, good camera work and athmosphere. Of course it is not like todays terror movies. If you are in the mood for something that looks like it was shot decades ago, I can recommend it.

    Bore.....

    Only thing good about this movie was some of the music. I can act better and create more suspense than this movie could dream of accomplishing. You just wait and wait and wait for it to get better. It never does. The 70's homage was done incredibly poorly. It almost felt like watching bad 70's p
