The climax proves thoroughly ridiculous, but by that point you’ve given up on the film anyway. Go to Full Review
Erik Piepenburg New York Times Feb 20
One could be forgiven for thinking that Polone and the screenwriter Andrew Kevin Walker wanted to prank audiences, not actually terrify them. It didn’t work. Go to Full Review

2/5
It’s a strange beast in that it’s too straightforward and dumb to work as a crime thriller yet too dull and scare-free to work as a horror, awkwardly falling somewhere in-between. Go to Full Review
Jake Tropila In Review Online 6h
Walker’s screenplay... is shockingly lacking in creative juice, while a good deal of the leftover disappointment can be attributed to Polone’s utterly atmosphere-free direction Go to Full Review

Alfredo 14h For a slasher type movie it had a riveting plot line. The murder crime solving flow kept me on the edge of my seat. For a shorter time film it is definitely a must see sleeper for those who enjoy movies like Se7en. See more Chum 1d The storytelling was a bit disjointed. By the time the film ends, you realize that key pieces of the antagonists backstory were never addressed. That said, theres a fair amount of gore & action throughout the film to keep you engaged. The female lead, played by Georgina Campbell, was pretty good & the killer (James Preston Rogers) was a convincing-enough serial killer. Unfortunately, the actors were bound by a halfhearted script. Certainly not a groundbreaking film by any means, but with a 90 minute runtime, its worth a try. See more osvaldo 2d It was a cat in mouse movie. I wasnt too thrilled. First of all. It was a little too short. The movie and I was expecting a lot more scarier scenes. See more Andy D 3d It was an enjoyable killer movie. Not bad, nothing over the top, but had a good time. See more Rob B 3d This movie left a lot to be desired. The storyline was a little weak, and we felt it moved very slow. See more Kyle 4d pretty much two characters in the whole film. everyone else quite literally meant nothing to the plot. the only positive was it was so bad it made it entertaining. buy not the kind of bad that's sort of self aware, it failed at everything it was trying to do. Also, what was with the voice on the killer?? sounded like when I would use a deep voice changer on xbox live when I was 13. if you are looking for a fun bad movie to go see with friends and laugh at. this is that movie See more Read all reviews
