Reviews:
“It’s just a shame the acting lets this down so much. In its defense it might not be the acting so much as the characters. All the male characters are massive jerks and wholly unlikeable with lines like “Limp Bizkit are underrated” and other gems only increase our dislike for them but I found it a nice touch […] It is well written though some bits are quite confused when it comes to explaining things.” Horror Screams Video Vault
“Serena Waits could be seen as a little stale due to the large expanse of time between the moments of horror. For me I found this downtime to be the most interesting part, detailing how people with dark secrets are able to continue their lives […] When the horror does come it is all suitably nasty.” The Rotting Zombie
“The climax, like the opening, is effective without being overly graphic. Seeing a guy repeatedly get a baseball bat to the crotch hurts even without Revenge style gore. Overall, it’s mostly satisfying if a bit improbable. I say mostly because I think Serena Waits concentrates on the wrong character when it comes to dealing out payback.” Voices from the Balcony
