Judy 1d Loved every minute of it. It had it, scary, funny and romance. Beautifully directed by Kristoffer Polaha. The entire cast and the scenery was amazing. See more Jeanette I 2d If you like twists and turns this is the move for you. Kris did a great job directing. See more Juandi 3d I feel like there were hidden messages in this film about the entertainment industry & “elites.” For that, I applaud it. Everything else kind of falls flat. Subpar acting mixed with satire horror. The entire time I wasn’t sure if I was supposed to be taking the film seriously or not. See more akizerswbellnet 3d very original movie Amazing movie!! See more Ann H 4d What can I say? This was a well-written, well-acted movie. Kristoffer Polaha made a true gem. His acting is always superb, but now we can see he can direct, too. Definitely a must-see. A little scary, a little creepy with the right amount of suspense! See more Arabella H. @anhubbard 21h Loved it! Horror, romance, AND redemption! Great, and intriguing, combination. Well done! See more Read all reviews
