Reviews:

” …some slasher mainstays, a dose of self-irony that’s just enough to not turn the movie into a farce, and plenty of haunted house attraction elements, puts them into a blender, mixes them up quite a bit … and the outcome is a light-footed horror movie with plenty of shocks and creepiness, gory bits and monsters…” Mike Haberfelner, Search My Trash

“If this movie tried to do anything, it was hit upon every key component of the classic horror movie. Children creepily laughing, a masked unknown killer, lots of tits and ass, and demonic interjection saturate the hour and a half film. Yet, this is what cheapens it and makes it stale.” Caitlin Huggins, HorrorNews.net

“Monroe’s film does have issues, and some that can’t be dismissed or even overlooked rather the scare factors lose to the comic displays, from the ridiculous usage of CGI, when regarding the fires of hell, so misplaced, overdone and just sadly awful. The acting is fair, not heeding to Shakespearean, after all the cast and tryouts are just seeking a season job…” Baron Craze, Rogue Cinema

Choice dialogue:

“C’mon, who doesn’t love a crucified nun?”
