      justin t This started off as quite an interesting chiller. It sort of changed and then became really confused. Not confusing as I was switched on and concentrating, it was confused. It stopped adding up if you thought about it in the slightest detail. The idea was interesting. It was let down by poor logic and believability. It was like all of the people were murderers about a year ago. The ending didn't really make sense although the very final bit was pretty cool and interesting. Make no effort to see this as it is lacking although the odd chilling moments and early potential can be enjoyed. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member Have a lot of mixed feelings about this one. the storyline was a bit different; there was a mystery which was fun to speculate on, and there were a couple of twists, neither which i expected. having said that though, the film is permeated with some undefinable level of creepiness that was unnerving and disturbing. I won't be watching this one again. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/14/23 Full Review Audience Member A volte il cinema indipendente sforna dei piccoli gioielli. Questo, girato in 18 giorni e con 4 soldi, é uno di quelli. Gran bell'horror. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/15/23 Full Review Audience Member I was pleasantly surprised by this movie. Decently creepy and a cool idea overall. It seemed to set itself up for a sequel at the end, but that's cool. I would watch it. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/23/23 Full Review Audience Member Why has this movie got such a high rank here? It's absolute garbage.

      Empire Magazine Rated: 3/5 Aug 3, 2005 Full Review Paul Dale The List Bad dialogue, creaky acting, unruly characterization and a distinct feeling of déjá vu marks this interesting, if very derivative, horror. Rated: 3/5 Apr 25, 2019 Full Review Felix Vasquez Jr. Cinema Crazed Though the concept has the ability to become something truly original and scary, [director] Wilson botches it... Apr 29, 2009 Full Review Anton Bitel Movie Gazette Rated: 8/10 Aug 3, 2005 Full Review Matthew Turner ViewLondon Provides a cast-iron example of that well-known movie maxim: Never Trust A Little Old Lady (at least not one that's played by Patty "The Bad Seed" McCormack). Rated: 3/5 Aug 3, 2005 Full Review Pablo Villaça Cinema em Cena Os efeitos de maquiagem so timos, mas o roteiro estpido a direo repleta de clichs de Sheldon Wilson s ficam acima das pssimas atuaes de todo o elenco.
