Felix Vasquez Jr. Cinema Crazed A nonsensical supernatural horror film void of any direction and pure suspense... Rated: 1/4 Oct 27, 2007 Full Review Scott Weinberg DVDTalk.com You have to sit through a whole lot of migraine material to get to the goods. Rated: 2/5 Oct 21, 2006 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member He just walks and walks and walks and walks and walks... And then he suddenly arrives and the movie is over in 5 minutes... Also, it seems like they changed the plot halfway through but lacked the budget to reshot the first part of the film. It should never have been made public. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review Audience Member So very boring...I watched solely because Danny Trejo was listed as a star, only to find out he was the voice of El Charro for maybe 2 seconds at the end. What a waste. I fast-forwarded through a good portion of the second half. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 01/13/23 Full Review Audience Member THIS IS AN ABORTION!!!!! OMG Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/13/23 Full Review Audience Member This reeks of a pompous, student-ish attempt at filmmaking, with all the accompanying, hackneyed cliches you'd expect. And this is coming from someone who watches enough Showtime Beyond to have developed a tolerance for B-grade sci-fi and horror. There are a number of aimless plot twists and the random introduction of characters who contribute nothing to the plot. This was undoubtedly meant to create atmosphere, but it simply comes off as pointless. There is no character development whatsoever, and each and every character in this movie remains an unlikeable, one-dimensional caricature for its duration. Because of this you can't really relate to, or empathize with any of the characters, let alone feel any satisfaction when they meet their gruesome ends. And what is Danny Trejo doing lending his voice to this piece of cinematic garbage? I hope he has a new agent.
