Victoria L This movie is so bad that I would give it negative stars if I could. The writing and acting in this film is honestly painful. The plot goes absolutely nowhere and is impossible to follow along with whatever the heck kind of story the film makers were trying to portray. I would not recommend this film to individuals who actually like horror films, but if you want a movie to cringe at and make fun of for 90 minutes then this is the movie for you. You could make viewing this monstrosity better by taking a sip of a drink every time there is shitty acting, dialogue, or a plot point that makes no sense, but I fear that you would die of alcohol poisoning within the first 20 minutes. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 10/14/23 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 Regina P Total waste of time. It's not laughably bad, but I can't muster a reason to recommend this to anyone. There are so many other low-budget films with more entertainment value than this. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 05/16/23 Full Review Eddie B It started slow and got progressively worse. The was no plot and it made no sense. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 12/31/22 Full Review Read all reviews
