    I had to sit through the movie for the sake of writing this review !!

    This movie is nothing but 70 mins of what the heck is going on .. 15 mins into the movie I lost my interest to watch it further but I sat through waiting for a moment where everything will make sense .

    This movie is downright boring ... there is literally nothing in this movie to spend your 70 mins for ... I only blame myself for choosing this movie on a Friday night .

    A crime against cinema

    This is the worst movie I've seen in 2020, and the bar is very low this year.

    Bad dialogs. Laughable acting. And annoying overuse of voice over. They wanted to be artistic but came out to be stupid.

    What did i just watch

    So it appears that people in the movie has discovered choking one self to be a form of therapy reverted to whenever life pins you down. This is one of those films that you don't really understand the purpose of, but still leaves you confused. Reminded me of Under the skin. Same vibes

    Absolutely dreadful

    This is a poor attempt at an art house movie gone terribly wrong. The story is all over the place and doesn't make sense or add up to anything satisfying at all. The acting is hit or miss, but the acting by leading man Shane Ryan is just abysmal and drags this movie down lower than it maybe should have been otherwise. Performance-wise, the movie is redeemed a little bit by Sarah Brine, who is so fun and interesting to watch that she almost makes up for everything else about this sad effort. The music is decent and it isn't completely awful to look at, so there's that.

    Too much for too little

    This movie featured some decent performances from its leads and it had a lot of potential, but the attempt with the overlapping storylines weighed it down. With a little more focus it might have been something good, instead of just a slightly below average horror movie.
