Reviews:
“It’s pretty much a one-man show following Diego through his supernatural journey. His performance is pretty solid with no overacting. He’s great in the role and they did a great job casting him. The supporting cast is great as well. Their characters are not as developed as Diego’s but they deliver solid performances.” Horror Society
