Reviews:
“As a movie, this is pretty bad. The ending is essentially given away right at the beginning, thus deflating any tension. The cinematography is amateurish, and the acting of many of the players is not great. One notable exception is Lawyer B. Douglas II, who appears to be as colorful a character in real life as in the movie…” 4 out of 10, Armin Nikkhah Shirazi
“It just creeped me out. I think this was well thought out and well made and probably in my top twenty-five for found footage horror films. Definitely one of the best horror films, in general, I’ve seen lately.” 8 out of 10, The Scare Exp

“I did like the lead actor, but the supporting cast was not as strong. Again, I think it’s mostly the writing. The supporting characters had little to no depth […] The reveal and the end are a huge letdown. You see it coming a mile away and there is no scary edge or quality to it.” 4 out of 10, Timothy Gartin
