| Reel Film ReviewsDavid NusairThat the film is entirely lacking in actual scares goes without saying... |
| User ReviewLordBishop34Better than average ghost story. Decent acting and some scary moments make it worth watching. A good script and interesting camera work also help keep everything moving along. |
| User ReviewPrivate UThis is a good movie has some of the Devils rejects in it.not bad for its time. |
| User ReviewSonya Tgood, definitely has the home movie feel though |
| User ReviewHeather FThought this would be better since part of the cast is comprised of the same cast as "the devils rejects" very predictable B horror movie. Don't waste your time. |
| User ReviewJames H4.5/10. For a low budget horror film, it isn't too bad. The acting is a very mixed bag, some good, some okay, some poor. The story is on the lame side, but it held my interest generally. Some of the storyline makes no sense at all, so that very much hurt the film's overall effect. |
| User ReviewClint LWho casts Sid Haig as the loving father? Lots of acting going on here. Rushed writing. Not much makes any sense. Eggs are there then they're gone but don't worry - they come back. |
| User ReviewJim BThis movie was so corny all it lacked was butter. It was lame from start to finish. B rated chump flick which would be C rated if there was such a thing. Avoid it like the plague. |
| User ReviewCurtis RSomebody in a suit said, "Hey, lets take the principal main cast from Rob Zombie's latest hit film, make their characters good and make the villain of the film as little of a threat as possible. For the lead we can get a girl that constantly looks like she has been crying and now market this unscary mess of a film to Liftetime-Television for Women because that's the target audience." |
