    well crafted very low budget horror flick

    With no money for special effects, all the time and attention was given to the script. Although not a *fine* film, if you are a fan of low budget horror you will be pleased by the director's attention to dialogue and his remarkabley un-holey plot.

    Great Ending....

    The movie is a bit slow and has too much talk talk talk talking, but then it picks up and hooks you in. A great surprise ending helps it too. Watch out for the 3-D like scene where an old bum pukes right at you! Good stuff. Mr. Berry did a fine job all around.

    Not that bad

    i am a big fan of extremely lo-budget films, but this one had great special effects, but as far as the story line and the acting goes I will give it a ** of *****.

    Only if they could of done a better acting job.

    Have you seen Black Spring Break?

    If you've seen the movie "Black Spring Break", part one not part 2. Imagine that, but it's John Singleton making it. However, John Singleton has no money in the budget and this is the first movie he's ever made. Now, imagine it's not John Singleton. It's someone who's seen all of his movies. He's directing this one.

    Stay with me... Imagine Ricky and Cuba Gooding Jr are going out with 2 shorties in their Impala. I'd say both homies are wanna be ballers, but they do have a little shot caller in them too. One of the dudes is trying mad hard to get some snappy nappy dugout. (I won't spoil if he succeeds or not not)

    Now with that stage set, turn it into a horror movie and imagine you're sneaking into Boo Radley's house for a majority of the film. If you're into that and that would be your favorite movie then the highest you should rate this is a 7. (That's why I gave it a 6 because I have an amazing imagination. If I didn't and I went in thinking this would be the greatest horror movie of all time. I guess I'd struggle to give it a 2 🤷, but it's a horror movie, so imagine it's going to be the worst thing you've ever seen and it will exceed your expectations)

    What a load of Sh--

    Funniest movie I've seen in a long, long time. The kids were stupid and I was praying that they would hurry up and die. As for the dialouge, I didn't know there was such words as "Hypervendicate" and "gudiver", maybe it was ebonics. And for those of you who are giving this movie ANY praise what-so-ever, no comment.
