    Good idea, poor execution

    I'm rating this a 4 purely because it had some decently creepy stuff. I did not understand what was happening for most of the movie. It felt like someone was bored during the pandemic, gathered a bunch of people (who know maybe very basics in film) and then started filming and created a semi plot after the footage was filmed. Some of it made sense and then anytime I thought I figured it out, I was back to being confused. If it weren't for the fluff that filled the first half of the movie, it would have had a lot of potential to be a great movie. Just needed some help. It lacked direction and had some major plot holes.

    Gets real weird

    This movie had genuinely scary parts but goes a little off the rails in the second half. Still worth watching IMO. Yes it goes into student art film for a bit however I genuinely liked most of it.

    Started Interestingly But Failed Miserably. Way too confusing!!

    The movie had its share of creepiness and started out interestingly enough, but then it strolled out into left field and made no sense. Hard to follow. Random scenes and images, then they attempt to explain in the end but still leave you very confused at the roll of the credits. Seems like it tries to be too artsy-fartsy at times. I just like a good horror story! This one tries to hard to be artistic, definitely like its coffeehouse horror. I want my $7 back!!

    Better than a 3 star review

    The acting was mostly good. Some freaky parts. Kind of like a weird nightmare that you would have after being sick. Good attempt but never gave us anything worth holding onto. Didn't understood the ending. They could have done so much more to make a cool ending to at least let us have a resolution that everyone could understand. That would have made the wait worth it but unfortunately they didn't do that. I think both of the young actors can definitely be in more movies. They are really good. After all they carried an hour and a half movie. Overall I would say to skip this. Not really worth the time.

    This is blasphemously terrible

    This is easily one of the worst horror experiences I have ever had in my entire life. This is so genuinely awful and so genuinely disappointing that if the reviews on this website went into the negatives. I would give this the lowest amount of starts humanly possible. It is a unbelievably slow hour and a half of suffering. I would rather take a beating than watch this movie again. The characters are so annoying throughout the entire film which made me really not care about them. It legitimately killed me from boredom several times throughout because of the lack of things that are interesting actually happening. I will give this movie one thing. You can finally applaud once the credits role. Because you will officially be out of your suffering.
