“Maybe itu0026#39;s a testament to the low-key sex appeal of its star, Alanna Chisholm. Or the generally good direction and cinematography, but this film was definitely appealing. I usually canu0026#39;t get into films shot on video, but this one looked pretty good.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eAlso, even though it has a slower pace, it was unrelenting up until the very end. I think for horror movies to be effective, on some level they have to be mean-spirited toward the viewer. The writer/director has to want to inflict a little psychological trauma in that 2 hours. This film doesnu0026#39;t seem like itu0026#39;s got what it takes to deliver that type of wallop, so it takes you by surprise at the end when it does.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eI would recommend it.”
