A few more passes through the editing suite have improved things, but the film is still a raggedy-assed mess, with apparently significant characters’ stories pruned back to stubs and loose endings like blasted shards.

Rated: 2/5

It skirts around the edges of the intended subject matter and never quite reaches its full potential.

Rated: 2.5/5

Tried too hard to be in line with a Rob Zombie esque film. It felt like an amalgamation of other horrors while still consistently missing the mark. Even Frank Grillo in his short appearances couldn't make it work.

I think it’s closer to 75% review. Enjoyed the movie though.

Bland, bland, bland. I couldn't have cared less about the fate of anyone in the film, the outcome -- any of it. I agree with another reviewer -- the 5-star reviews must be fake or written by friends/family of the producers. The whole freaking thing is strung together like a macaroni necklace made by a child in kindergarten. The editing was clearly done on crack. The moments meant to be tense or high-stakes fall flat. The leads have no chemistry. The actual premise, when it finally makes an appearance, is so hurried as to feel glossed over. It's like The Room was shot in an Air B&B without Tommy Wiseau's charm. I'd like $5.99 and 1:18 hours of my life back.

One of the worst movies I have ever watched. The reviews have to be fake.

This is not just another Charles Manson movie, it's different. The acting is good, the suspense never lets you down and it happens in the desert making it creepy and haughting. I thought Grillo was especially good, a sinister cult leader after the perfect human sacrifice and the horror you feel with Peltz, Hughes and Plasse is intense, disturbing. Remy Grillo did a great job, made it all believable; heavy movie but good.
