    So bad it's actually kinda good

    The acting, dialogue, and special effects are absolutely atrocious. The character, Taylor, might be about the most annoying character in any show, and her one-liners make me cringe. The story is dumb and makes no sense. I'm pretty sure the ending was nearly impossible. But for some strange reason I kinda liked it. It was one of those "so bad it's good" kind of films. I'd probably never watch it again, but it was kind of fun while it lasted. But don't go into this expecting any sort of quality.

    My Fitbit thought I was asleep!

    This film was so predictable, it was like I wrote the script. Very slow, very boring and an absolute yawn-fest. Save yourself an hour and a half and go for a walk, instead.

    There are windows above the front door!!

    I mean like what?? At least find a house to film in where there aren't windows, that aren't boarded up, above the front doors! Lazy scouting...

    Horrible movie

    Got through the first 35 minutes of the movie. It was so bad that I was literally rooting for the witch to just kill off all of the cast members. I'm almost positive the directors had a plot going and then gave up and started winging it.

    Nope!

    Horror buff here. In a relative sense, a score of 5.2 with over 1400 votes would suggest horror gold. This movie is not horror gold. It is not a diamond in the rough. It is terrible. Not scary - at all. Terrible acting. Terrible F/X. I am not sure how this title garnered a respectable score here. Don't waste your time with this movie unless you are a cognitively challenged 13 year old girl. Believe me, this is coming from someone who judges horror on a completely separate metric, and in general I'm usually much more forgiving, score wise (any intriguing horror movie that keeps my attention and spooks me out deserves at least a 6 or 7, baseline). This movie is barely a 3.

    If you want under-recognized (but NOT underrated critically) horror gold watch the remake of "the crazies." What a flick!!

    • Trivia
      There was originally going to be a graphic sex scene included in the movie, but the director opted to exclude it from the final product as he was disturbed by the what the actress performing the scene commented prior to filming. The comment was "I want this to be a genuine scene, and for the actor I am supposedly having sex with to put it in as much and as hard as possible to the extent that my vagina can start bleeding".
