Abandon hope all ye who watch this tripe...

Sorry, this was much worse than 1/10, I really just don't know how... how to express the epic loss of life... the time taken from me.. I just have to let others know not to watch... it's the least I can do.

Wow, it was just terrible.

As for the THECONDUITSPEAKS.COM review that was 9/10, do you honestly expect to be taken seriously by anyone?

What about your other reviews? Are you not ashamed of them being rendered inconsistent and irrelevant?

Your word is tarnished, forgotten, smothered.

What a shame.

Any explanation on what makes the film so terrible? There's so very little info on it here at IMDB and the reviews don't actually talk about the film but instead they talk about the idea of the film, which doesn't really help convey what it's about.

Based on the brief synopsis it sounds like I Spit On Your Grave meets The Strangers???

^^True man. You can't trust people who gush all over these flicks flicks giving 9/10 reviews or the idiots who trash them.

The trailer didn't look that great, but I'm thinking of giving it a watch anyway.

I thought it wasn't bad but the movie is all over the place, so much that it's hard to actually explain.

A short summary would be... This guy kidnaps a group of teen Christians who have AIDS and preach to kids. They never really explain (explain well atleast) why he needed them, they lind of explain why but not the method. That's a thing in the movie but the real story is about the psycho's stripper wife's boyfriend trying to find this money the psycho's mother supposedly buried all over her property. Just so happens they picked the wrong guy to rob.

I mean the movie had some interesting ideas but too many of them to the point most lose their impact.
