I have to give the director credit for making the absolute most of his 10 million dollar budget. The film's special effects are as convincing as any big budget project of the 21st century.
Aside from the visuals, the film's greatest strength is its pace. Cordero was clearly in no rush to let the film dilute into clichés and jump scares. There is genuine tension in the film thanks to an ominous soundtrack and the eerie silence of the film's setting. And, as always, less is more.
This movie made something like $100,000 at the box office. I can see it becoming a very underrated cult classic, and I will very likely watch it again.
