Oaklee D @ODie63 5d An above average horror film from New Zealand which takes a little while to kick off but once it does it's a fun time See more Gato C @RT52804988 02/17/2025 Sin duda una pelicula muy diferente, nos muestra tradiciones de una cultura conocida pero poco mostrada, sin duda la recimiendo. See more 09/14/2015 180629: This film takes on two of my passions, one being the horror genre the other art in general; tattooing in particular. It's a fun idea, especially considering the lesser recognized, for North Americans, Samoan perspective. Though featuring not exactly the best acting or storyline, this film does offer a few catchy special effects, about the only reason I'd ever want to look back upon it. Worth watching if you're a horror aficionado but don't expect to be thrilled often. See more 08/15/2015 The subject matter makes for a fairly unique storyline for a horror, although its an average production at best with a plot work through that requires much more pace. See more 12/13/2014 Love Jason Behr. The movie was much better than expected! See more 07/06/2013 I can se how someone would find this to be cliche, and make fun of it, but I personally loved it. It was heartwarming (as heartwarming as a horror movie could be) and I really got into the characters. See more Read all reviews
