It was ok

Had I known beforehand it was a PG-13 horror, I might have passed it up. I wound up enjoying it even though it could've used more gore or at least showed more of the kills. I was wondering why they all happened off camera until I saw it was PG-13 after I finished it. The twist ending in the final 2 minutes made absolutely no sense when you look back on the film. I won't give the twist away, but it was completely illogical when you look back on the interactions the lead boy had with his mother earlier in the film. Without that absurd twist, I would've bumped this up to 7 stars. Still watchable though...until the unbelievable twist comes that will leave you scratching your head in disbelief.

Not too bad

This may not be a big budget blockbuster but I enjoyed it, and if you are expecting that then move alone Yes it's predictable in places but aren't they all, I found the acting good, the story wasn't bad. Give it a go it might surprise you
