“I completely jinxed this movie by saying how good it was halfway through.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eIu0026#39;ve seen some pretty horrendous horror films in my lifetime, but you expect them to be horrendous because they are what they say on the tin. Cheap and easy.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThis film is the opposite, itu0026#39;s deceptive and not in a u0026quot;ahhh wasnu0026#39;t expecting thatu0026quot; sort of way. More a feeling of being completely ripped off and dissatisfied kinda way.n We honestly really enjoyed a good majority of this film, so many things that look like theyu0026#39;re building up to a really good twist at the end. Mysterious characters, red herrings, things that could be linked together in a really cool way.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eHow naive and utterly wrong we were.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThere is no point to this film. Literally, why was this film made?nItu0026#39;s like they employed a really good writer for the first half of the film who put together a brilliant structure and then some idiot decided to take over and realised he/she was in over their head. nBy the last shot I was honestly screaming u0026quot;DO NOT ROLL CREDITSu0026quot; and my sister had to restrain me when the goddam screen went black.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThis review may seem extra, but I have never been so angry, frustrated and disappointed by a potentially great film.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eI urge you not to waste your time. u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eI have to go cool off and try and forget the fact I ever watched this piece of rubbish.”
