“So Iu0026#39;m all for a slow burning story. But this wasnu0026#39;t a slow burn. It was just an empty story with no pay off. The u0026quot;climaxu0026quot; shouldu0026#39;ve happened by the halfway point of the movie and built the story more from there.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eIu0026#39;d give it 1 star but it was well acted and the filming was actually pretty good… So I guess it gets an extra star for effort… It had potential to be thought-provoking, compelling, creepy, thrilling, and so much more. I even think the idea for the premise was pretty smart! But all that potential was squandered in its execution. This shouldu0026#39;ve been a short film, not feature length. Honestly though, even trimming out a lot of padding and fat, I just think this was kind of half-baked and needed to be fleshed out into something with more depth and definitely more story.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eUnfortunately, this was one of the most disappointing and unsatisfying movies Iu0026#39;ve seen in a long time.”
