Surprisingly good

From is from me declined (WTF?) IMDb review:

I had never even heard of this film when my folks invited me to it. I leveled my expectations. "A 90 minute horror? How bad can it be?" I love B movies and horror, and this film exceeded my expectations. I was immediately sold on the premise. The film is surprisingly good -- The acting, the writing, directing, editing, sound (though the theater's sound system was a bit too loud), cinematography (I wasn't expecting the 2.35:1 aspect ratio). The jump scares were well executed and the movie used cell phones in a way that wasn't cringeworthy. This would-be B movie is elevated to an A-. I highly recommend it.

Apparently, "declined" just mean it hasn't been processed yet. I'll wait 4-7 days.

Agreed!

It wasn't good at all. I wouldn't recommend it to be seen.

Terrible film. The only redeeming thing about is was the main actress who looked like she was actually trying for a good performance.
