Reviews:
“There’s been a lot of aquatic horror movies […] however, for the life of me, I can’t recall any films with “killer water” flowing through a home’s plumbing system. So, to that end: Phillip Penza certainly impressed me with a unique twist to the haunted house genre […] decent I-didn’t-think-this-was-going-this-way plot twists and a couple of eye-widening, noirish character-defective moments paired with atmospheric cinematography and genuinely creepy special effects.” B&S About Movies
“Technically, it’s quite sound, with decent camerawork and audio. The performances are a bit variable, but in most cases, get the job done adequately. The real issue here is the script, which feels throughout like it makes things up as it goes along. There’s no internal logic, in terms of what the paranormal activity can do, or consistency in why it acts the way it does.” Rating: C- Film Blitz
