I didn't want to write a review but after seeing the low rating and the strange reviews that call this film the worst ever, I had to write my own. Normally you get it the other way round, lots of stars for a nothingburger.
This is what puzzled me.
Anyway, here is an honest review.
Low budget, yes. Bad acting, not really, they were all doing their best and that wasn't too bad at all. It wasn't Shakespear but hey.
Cinematography was professional, didn't look like filmed by a group pf mates with a phone.
Storyline was never boring, it was flawed in quite a few places but that didn't stop me from wanting to watch the lot. I felt like watching a Punch and Judy show, shouting at the people in the film when they did silly things and slapping my forehead when they didn't listen.
It was actual fun to watch.
Not a serious, dark horror, more a light hearted but quite entertaining thriller.
The good people were likeable, the bad ones unlikeable. You can't really guess who is telling the truth or why things are the way they are, which keeps you on edge.
I have seen bad films, unwatchable ones, ones where I stopped watching 10 min before the end because it didn't matter. This wasn't one of them.
If you watched it one day out of boredom, you wouldn't have wasted your time. To compare it to food, if 'The Ring' would be Lobster, this would be a Burger meal. Cheap and cheerful, tasty enough and fun.
One thing though, what the heck happened to the boy?
