    Waste of Time

    I walked in expecting a sort of Conjuring themed movie, but all I got was a poor man's Goosebumps that has nothing to do with its picture (talk about false advertisement) and what felt more like a comedy given its blatantly awful, well, everything. The stories were cheesy, predictable, and not in the least bit horrifying or memorable. The special and practical effects were low budget and low standard (not that they're necessary for a good movie, but it just made something awful worse). The only thing truly horrific about the movie was the acting, both inside and outside of the stories. I would have enjoyed watching a bunch of monkeys screaming around a campfire rather than watching the unmemorable actors.

    Avoid at all costs

    A cheaply made and terribly acted horror anthology bore fest the synopsis of the movie is shockingly misleading and is obviously a ploy to draw idiots (like me) into watching the film please do make the same mistake as me and save yourself 1 hour and 20 minutes of your life! As a matter of fact call your friends go camping on a Halloween night even if you spend the night reading books about accounting and maths it will still be more interesting and scary than this movie I once walked into a dentistry conference in which they discussed revolutionary advances in adolescent dentures and it was still more gripping and tense that this pile of utter garbage

    DO NOT WATCH!

    Badly acted highly predictable horror flick

    This is more of a TV movie you know one of those straight to dvd types. I was tricked into watching this movie and boy was it boring predictable and uneventful damn

    If you're up for a comedy, this movie is for you

    Literally the worst horror movie I've ever watched. There is no plot, the acting is horrible and sad to watch.

    But I have to add that the movie is so bad, that while watching it you can actually have a good laugh. So I don't recommend it if you want something scary, but if you'd like to cringe out with your friends or if u can't find a good comedy movie, I suggest this one.
