Is it any good?

It's out in the UK and looks good, just wondering if it's got a good narrative?

A movie with a premise this ludicrous would require a great script to work. This doesn't have one. It's competently made and Alycia Debnam-Carey is good but it can't overcome a flawed script and gets worse as it draws towards its conclusion.

That said, it could have be worse. As it stands I'd just describe it as another blah horror movie.

The story is stupid and the writing is lazy but the acting is pretty good and Alycia Debnam-Carey is in it so ...

just wondering if it's got a good narrative?

Don't listen to the two above who trashed it. I watched it thinking it was gonna be an 'ok' movie, but was very surprised that it was actually better than most horror movies these days. I'd rate it up there with The Conjuring and The Conjuring 2 and movies of that caliber. Just goes to show ya, many times the independent movies can be just as good as or even better than the big bucks studio films.

I enjoyed it. I had low expectations (as I do with horror anyway) and was pleasantly surprised, creeped out,AND it managed to make me jump and scream a few times which usually doesn't happen to me.

It's not going to blow you away but it's not too bad and if you like this type of horror it's worth the watch. I've seen alot worst lol

And as already said the acting is actually good and holds the film together.

Its utter crap. Honestly just pure trash. If i ever met the person who got together the financing for this dross i would spit in his face.
