Jonathan E Truly one of the worst films imaginable. The acting is so cringe and the writing horrendous. Omg Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 04/10/25 Full Review Solomon K The film was obviously low budget, but still a lot of fun. I’d love to see this story done with better make up and better acting and some touch up’s on the script. It’s a fun horror film and certainly not as bad as the other reviews make it seem. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/31/25 Full Review Michael A Overall a good film. The beginning was a bit slow but the story came to a good conclusion. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/05/25 Full Review Aidan T I am already 20 minutes into this sub-par snorefest and find it about as engaging as dried prunes. Do they purposely make films like these purely to fill TV hours - like cheap, bland wallpaper? I am baling on this. The only suspense being artificially generated is on the soundtrack! Rated 1 out of 5 stars 08/19/23 Full Review Jeffrey P Started interesting enough, then it became something totally different and just became more and more generic and got worse and worse… don't expect anything interesting with the stairs. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 06/25/23 Full Review Nate A Truly among the worst of the worst. Not so-bad-it's-funny: just bad-bad-bad-bad. There are layers of awful here. The best I can say is that it had me thinking it might go somewhere for the first half. That made it even more disappointing. Baffling. Stupefying. Just, every corner of every moment of this movie is a trainwreck. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 06/09/23 Full Review Read all reviews
