Terrible. No suspense, no scares, just stupid
31 August 2015 | by See all my reviews

The first 5 minutes starts off okay, a little slow but good production value, decent dialog. It all goes down hill from there. 35 minutes into it and nothing's happening.

Eventually, the violence starts, but it's so unrealistic and over the top, it's not believable, even within the context of the story.

The violence is really fake too, with everyone getting beat to bloody hell, then walking around sporting a couple band-aids, like they are super-human. Sometimes, even the physics stand out as obviously wrong.

This movie is frankly stupid. As it drags on, even the dialog and filming goes downhill, as if the crew realized just what a bad a movie they were making and gave up on it.

Normally, I try to finish bad movies so I can leave a complete review, but with this one after an hour I had to fast-forward through most of it.

The only reason I gave it two stars in the actors seemed to be trying with what little they were given.
