There is nothing special about any of the characters whatsoever and in fact, only one is somewhat close to being likable (she is close but still kind of forgettable) whereas the others are just obnoxious. The pace feels slower than it is, it just feels like it's taking forever. Even with the quick opening that it has to let us know that it's a horror movie it still feels like it's just lagging and that has a lot to do with the character writing and casting. It's very flat, if that makes sense. The music is also unbearable, it is dripping in soap opera soundtrack. The FX are not bad however and props to them on those.
First of all, you gotta respect low budget horror ok. It doesn't always follow rules and it takes a lot of work to make them. That being said, there are some mild character cliches in this one but honestly, it's pretty well acted. The premise is a very cool idea and nostalgic of 80s horrors. It's a lot of fun and never boring. Plus not having an all white cast was a plus for me, I appreciated that at least 2 main characters were not white (could have been more, but hey, progress). The FX were not terrible either. Honestly the reviews are too harsh on this one. It probably killed it at horror film festivals.
It has a great scare moment! The reveal in the end is a very cool scene and made the whole movie for me, its worth it to get to that reveal! All I will say is when he tells the guy to fully stand..... omg excellent!
