Film Threat Amanda Reyes

A solid, whirlwind of a horror movie, with more twists and turns than a hula hoop competition.

Los Angeles Times Mark Olsen

Intermittently fun and occasionally witty, with just the right touch of self-awareness.

Gary F. gave it an8:
Film does not take itself too seriously which is part of the reason why most of it works. A fun ride, granted the nightscenes are a little bit dark, but it's good to know that someone is making a horror film with a wink and a smile, rather than sadism...
