There isn't a single positive for this mess of a movie. Everything about it is cheap and bad. I'm sure the positive ratings are fake as only a small child could find this garbage entertaining. The story was always going to be a bit of a stretch but the execution is awful. This was. Clearly made on a very low budget but even so that's not an excuse for knocking out this drivel. The dialogue is badly written and characters are one note and delivered with lazy performances. I had high hopes for this but it's worse than I could have imagined. I would advise anyone thinking of renting/viewing this tripe to think again - unless it's for young kids then go for it.

This is awful. I can forgive the low budget effects but the acting and writing are like something the school drama club put together. Characters are 1 note, void of any real personality or characterisation. They are simply there. The idea is nothing fresh but seems to be executed well in terms of story but the performances and lazy writing let this down. It's probably unfair to say the acting is bad as some of the cast are known for great performances elsewhere, perhaps this is down to the direction or lack thereof. If you're looking for a good horror film to get lost in, this is one you will want to skip but for background noise while you're doing the ironing - perfect.

Nothing like the book. Not half as good. Terrible in comparison. Was really looking forward to this but it was not good. Having the read the book i was looking forward to seeing the story play out on screen. Unfortunately the story told is not that close to the story of the book. Film loses the charm and character of the original story though there are some similarities. The film is neither funny or scary, it's a bit of a mess. Cast are good apart for the whole Lemon brothers rubbish. That was shameful. I'm glad that it was on Prime as I'd be annoyed if I'd paid money to purchase this tripe. Not worth your time.
