    Some good ideas badly assembled

    I do not want to be too long, therefore I just want help who s choosing the movie with some no-spoiler key points: 1) It's kind of low budget movie, with some implantation from many other horror movies, not very well assembled 2) this cause a miss of suspense and adrenaline, in scenes where Director could do better 3) actors are not that bad, however their characters don't have the chance to be deepened along the story. 4) I did appreciate Clint James I guess He did as much as he could. 5) The worst thing is that this movie is missing the climax, mandatory for a kind of movies like this ones, letting the watcher with an unpleasant feeling of the overall story. Generally I wouldn't suggest this movie to anyone, but I definitively cannot say it has been the worst low budget movie I have seen. But is it low budget? I hope it is, but very far from good works like IT Follows.

    Worth watchable One Time

    A weakly written script and unrealistic performance of the lead roles with quite intensive screenplay.

    A decent indie movie

    I don't understand why this film has such a low rating on IMDb.

    There are a couple of things that could have been improved on.

    Firstly is the colour grading. Some of the shots (particularly the external ones) are not well balanced, and often the colour grading does not make sense to the viewer - thereby leading to some confusion about the relationship of one scene to the next or it's place in the story.

    Next are some of the CGI effects. The effects are appropriate for the scene, but are not integrated well.

    Apart form those couple of things, technically the film is OK and are soon forgiven as the story unfolds.

    All of the actors do a good job of portraying the characters, and I felt there was a genuine connection between them in relation to the story being told.

    All in all it is a film worth watching, and worth more than the low rating on IMDb.

    Good low budget movie

    It is a good movie in low budget with great acting from all characters and also some horror scenes created in the movie.

    What the...???

    I don't know what "well acted" movie other reviewers saw but I can't imagine it was this one. The acting was HORRIBLE, the story was old and used up, the cinematography was embarrassing, the "effects" were a joke. This is literally one of the worst movies I have ever seen. Pass on this one, I wish I had.
