Absolutely Terrifying....


Does any one else agree that this movie was terrifying? I am a huge horror movie fan and have seen loads of horror movies, but for some reason this movie affected me. I was shaking by the end of it, it invoked a huge feeling of dread for me throughout it.

I don't know if it was really terrifying. I thought it was more like a prolonged episode of the X-files, actually. Not really any gore, some suspense but a script with enough holes in so you don't get to relate to any character or event. A B movie, that's for sure, but not a bad one (check out Venom if you want bad)

It was good, and the kid was creepy but i wouldnt say it was scary... btw im still a little confused

I thought it was amazing! You start to empathize with this bloody kid just a bit and it just pulls you in and you want to know his story. I actually read about it in Fangoria a year or so ago and it was on my list of "must sees" and I'm so glad I finally saw it. Can't wait to see what this director comes up with next.

Not scary at all. But boring? Oh, yes.
A lot of the scenes are just too long. God, this director should hire a better editor... oh, wait.. He IS the editor too.

Only in the sense I was terrified people put money up for this, and someone decided the shots left in were the GOOD ones.

the only 'terrifying' part was when the black coated thing jumps out and kills the red one. and it wasn't true horror, just the jumpy part. the rest sucked. i was sick of the blood in forwards and reverse

can't talk. eating brains
