“I went into this not expecting much, bored one night at home and saw it on demand, the trailer portrayed it as a straight-up haunted house type horror, which it is not.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eI donu0026#39;t usually care for horror movies that can also be classified as comedic, I like the scares, chills, and suspense of a good horror move and tend to stay away from the super campy or u0026quot;funnyu0026quot; types. Rare to form, this movie gives you both horror and comedy, and more. It is intriguing, suspenseful, creepy, and, at times, downright hilarious. The acting was very good, the characters well developed. I didnu0026#39;t feel like it was too long, just right in my opinion. Itu0026#39;s well worth watching even for those who donu0026#39;t typically like horror.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eAnd I have to add that the scene at the end of the movie, where the epic u0026quot;fight for their lifeu0026quot; begins, is so funny, I was simultaneously nervous and tense while also laughing hysterically.”
