Reviews:
” …some decent kills, particularly a decapitation, although these are rare when so many instances disappointingly cut away, presumably for financial reasons. This may also be why the monster design feels lacklustre, resembling a drunken attendee of a costume party who got sentenced to Guantanamo Bay.” ★ Nerdly
