Review:
“The last act does deliver several nasty kills, but the way the plot is structured there’s no reason Bone Mask (Joshua Ian Steinberg, The History of Silence) couldn’t have started his bloody work a little sooner either. I wasn’t bored, but I was getting a bit impatient for it to get down to business. Thankfully the practical effects by Allan David Carrol help make up for the wait…” 3 out of 5, Voices from the Balcony
