What Reviewers Say

  • Praised for its eerie atmosphere and some creative practical effects.

Google audience: Google user reviews are largely unavailable or difficult to find for this lesser-known film. Those that exist generally mention it as a "fun" or "cheesy" horror flick that delivers on some basic scares, but lacks originality.
