    A psychological thriller with a twist

    Brilliant and thought provoking. Might not be everyone's cup of tea, but it had me in suspense from start to finish. I recommend it. It does pay homage to alot of horror movies but has a unique angle I appreciated.

    Basically a cheap Shining remake

    I have seen other movies based on The Tokoloshe, sadly this film has little to do with that and is a very cheaply made poor remake of The Shining that should be avoided. Its poorly edited is only 67 mins long and is essentially a series of scenes sewn together to try and make a cohesive film, but they failed. And critically for a horror it has zero scares.

    waste of a movie

    Just boring and all over the place... would give 0 stars if I could....

    utter rubbish

    Next time get a proper writer and don't steal the concepts from The Shining. Acting was so horrible. Just because you may like horror films does not mean you should try to make one. So slow and extremely disappointing.

    Production value was acceptable, but other than that give this movie a miss.

    Amused

    This is just a blatant rip off of The Shining by Stephen King. They changed some of the elements to update for the 21st Century.

    The beginning and ending music was really good!!!

    Sorry, Gen X here, very hard to impress any more.
