    Excruciating

    This film is so boring.

    I forced myself to keep watching just to see if anything interesting happened in the end. It did not.

    Poor acting. Poor story. It was comical at times just how bad it was. I assume we are supposed to get some fantastic insight in to the killers mind, but the whole thing was pointless.

    Worth it

    Found this little gem on netflix and didn't think much of it. Yes, the beginning is slow and the acting feels wooden but IT GETS BETTER. The ending was brilliant. And the way the killer offs his victims? Creative af. I love it. Definitely worth a watch.

    5 minutes at the start, and 5 at the end. That's it

    This is one of the most boring films I have seen in a long time.

    Any sense of wonder or suspense disappears after a few minutes because the story is predictable and just plain stupid.

    The only reason I gave this two stars is for the acting, which was reasonable considering everything else.

    Watch five minutes at the start, and five minutes at the end, and that is the whole story worth giving time to.

    Don't waste your time

    Yes i did give this movie a 4/10...to be far the acting of the two main characters in the basement was quite good...and the gory scenes were pretty good too.

    However!

    That's it! it was a drawn out waste of time and pretty stupid story line.

    Don't waste your time on this movie, there are better ways to spend your time and better movies.

    Sick movie for sick people

    Seing movies like this one makes you feel that something was stolen from you. I feel the time I spent watching this sick junk was stolen from me and I want that time back. Misha Barton is one of those actors who makes you think of those silent era actors who didnt fit in when the sound came because of their voice. Her voice just doesn´t fit with her looks. Jackson Davis actually did a good performance here though.

    • Trivia
      Kelky calls the police to report Craig 3 hours missing. The police say that they can not do anything because he had not been missing for 24 hours. There is no law that prohibits police from acting on s missing person case immediately. The police would never wait 24 hours for a missing toddler for instance.
