Review by sstetsko

I reserve 1 scores for the very worst of the worst, and while this isn't that, it comes close. I am okay with low budget films, and amateur films, but they still have to be somewhat good. This movie fails at that. It has mostly pretty terrible acting, plot, script, character development, directing, lighting, continuity, and, well, just everything. As a ''horror'' it fails so badly at creating suspense and believable peril that at best our emotions drift to boredom, and as a drama, which is what I think it secretly wants to be, it is dragged down by such bad acting it fails there too. It doesn't even stoop so low as to become a satire of itself, so we are even cheated of any possible humorous cult value.

I don't want to be completely down on it. I ALMOST wanted to give it a three. I feel it was taken somewhat seriously by the participants, and for a couple of the characters... the two younger female leads, and one male cast member, there are brief glimmers that with a lot more effort and a much better project they MIGHT one day shine. Regrettably that day still seems very distant.

Oddly, they got a pretty good score for the opening and closing sequences... this was a surprise, and along with the establishing sequence, even gave, for the first few minutes, a brief hope that I was going to find a diamond in the rough. In the end, though, it was not a diamond, or even an agate: it was just the worst kind of rough.
