Following a rash of mysterious disappearances, a naked teenage boy (Rocky Marquette) covered in blood suddenly appears outside the police station brandishing a gore-spattered hunting knife. Believing him to be involved somehow in the disappearances, Sheriff Jack Sheppard (Timothy V. Murphy) and his partner, Laura Russell (Lindsey Stoddart), take the boy into custody and interrogate him. When the boy starts talking, however, Sheppard's whole world begins to collapse around him.

Paul Dale The List 04/25/2019
3/5
Bad dialogue, creaky acting, unruly characterization and a distinct feeling of déjá vu marks this interesting, if very derivative, horror. Go to Full Review
Felix Vasquez Jr. Cinema Crazed 04/29/2009
Though the concept has the ability to become something truly original and scary, [director] Wilson botches it... Go to Full Review

3/5
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). Go to Full Review

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. Go to Full Review

3.5/5
Sure, this is filmed like a standard B-movie thriller, but the plot keeps us guessing ... and it's creepy and unsettling enough to give us nightmares. Go to Full Review

Stephen C @bob25009 Oct 16 Success in 1 hour and 37 minutes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Ages 17 and older!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! See more justin t 02/16/2022 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. See more 07/28/2015 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. See more 06/11/2014 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. See more 06/03/2014 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. See more 03/20/2014 Why has this movie got such a high rank here? It's absolute garbage. ROFL See more Read all reviews
