As bad as expected

The movie is the same few jump scares repeated from start to finish with a ridiculously bad "plot" and is crowned with the worst sound design I have ever seen (well, heard) in a movie.

The "scary" scenes start very early on and repeat, repeat, repeat (the same 2 or 3 exactly) and this makes this movie as scary as Love Actually. It tried solely to rely on the ending which was as predictable as it gets.

Most bad movies are just bad and that's it. This was so bad it was actually infuriating.

I Agree with you. To be fair I saved myself the gut wrenching experience after 25-30 minutes of my internal voice saying .. yes yes , can we get on with the Movie already? . I could not take anymore of this bad acting, plot-less drivel and non scary jump scenes. At least i think that's what those were supposed to be ( yawn)

I'm not sure who Mixed the Sound track and the Audio track but they botched it. The sound track (Musical score, and i use this term loosely) was way out in front and walked all over the audio portion. Who ever did the editing for this needs to be slapped and slapped hard. There was absolutely no balance. You need balance to set the tone, the mood and so on.

Sorry but I could not force myself to sit through another minute of this crap. Like most people, if you cannot pull your audience in in the first 15-20 minutes you're done.
I am just a regular guy, I am not a professional critic but i did notice that there were no "professional Critic" takes on this movie. They probably got a far as i did and said to themselves " what the hell is this P.O.S they are calling a movie!

Please pull this, burn it and do not release it to DVD. These people who made this? their names need to go on the black list!
If at first you don't succeed, find a sharp corner to bang your head on and don't do it again.
