The truth is that I don't like it at all and I have nothing positive to say, so I'd better leave it at that I don't recommend it.
You know those times where you ask yourself “why am I doing this to myself?” and then continue to force your way to the end of a film perhaps to prove no one can hurt you more than you can hurt yourself? This was one of those times.
Sometimes these no-budget indie horrors get it right. I was looking for a single performance, technical aspect or even underlying message but came up empty. It does star Courtney Gains who I still associate as the leader kid in the original Children of The Corn though he’s been in countless movies, TV shows and videogames. Though this isn’t one of his better roles, he does help the overall production as he seems…
3 things:
1: This movie is hot garbáge
2: Kelsey Tucker kinda kills it in this despite the entirety of production working against her
3: The practical effects and makeup aren’t half bad, in fact…they are way too dang good for this movie (the contact lenses are the worst of it)
From the mediocre acting to the terrible bespoke radio rock tunes on the soundtrack to the nauseating fade display at the top of things that gets to the point of being completely off-putting to watch — people made decisions here, and none of them good, and there is absolutely no reason to bear witness to their cinematic crimes. Skip.
