5/10 for me!
I caught a glimpse of the IMDb rating (from 3.6k!) via Prime Video before clicking play so saw the 3/10 average rating and naturally feared the worst. But you know what? I didn't actually find it to be all that terrible. Sure, it's a bad movie though that low a rating feels harsh to me.
I can understand those that dislike this, admittedly. It is cheaply made, does feature amateur acting and the script is nothing to shout about at all. The horror elements aren't memorable and are all over the place. However, I honestly have nothing overtly against this. I think what helps is the very short 77 minute run time, films that are that short usually don't stick around long enough for me to build up any hate towards them to be honest.
As already mentioned, the acting from those involved isn't anything all that noteworthy. I did find Sarah Pribis to be a tiny bit better than her co-stars, while Ice-T is OK in a small role and it's interesting to see Vincent Pastore and Eric Roberts (as himself, no less) appear momentarily. Speaking of the latter, I'm constantly fighting the urge to watch his entire 700+ filmography back-to-back because I know it would be a waste of my time... but part of me wants to. 🤪
A poor film no doubt, if not anything atrocious in my mind. That neat-looking poster is not befitting of what is portrayed onscreen, by the way.
