Please do not rent this movie.


I read previous reviews of this movie before renting it and figured that I would get at least a couple frights. I was wrong. Dead wrong. I LOVE horror movies and I am definitely not that picky about them. But, this movie was essentially a student film. I cannot believe I paid 5 dollars to rent this. The studio should be EMBARRASSED for putting this movie out there. Like ASHAMED. The 90% of the acting was horrendous. I am not exaggerating, I really wish I were. I started to get worried when the opening credits looked like they were done by a high school graphic arts student. I can't believe they tried to pass off this "movie" in the film industry. I almost felt like writing an email to the producers asking why they would do this to the audience. Please don't rent this movie. You are going to hate yourself for wasting money on it when it ends. I swear this movie isn't even "campy," its not entertaining at all.

Dude I total agree! Luckily I only wasted $3.99 on this stinking pile of bull crap.

This movie sucked so hard who the hell even made this. The reel should have been burned not released for public viewing. Slow and drawn out and thats the first 30 minutes. Luckily someone downloaded this crap from a torrent site and didnt waste their money. OMG i am soooooo mad i wasted 30m of my life trying to sit through this. Forget horror this should be listed under horrid.

People can watch the movie for free over at Hulu:

But even then...from what I've heard...it's not worth my time. =P

Oh cool, thanks for the Hulu link!! I was thinking of renting this today but figured I would wait and check on it first. Basically I am interested in the Alcatraz backdrop here, a place that definitely could scare the crap out of you if handled correctly! I'll check out the link shortly, thanks again for posting it Levi! Hopefully it still works!!
