Look at the title! That's just some random inconsequential line from early on in the movie.
Let's see, some things I REALLY like in a horror movie: Confined/claustrophobic location. Limited cast. The cast is all doomed! Supernatural element. Witchcraft. I would also consider myself a fan of Pat Healy.
What went oh so wrong? Limitations (funny enough, these are usually an asset in low budget horror), a complete lack of creativity, and a lack of effort to follow anything through. Makes for a very tedious watch.
I don't know how much more one-dimensional all the characters in this movie can be. They behave exactly how you expect them to behave throughout the running time. Each character is written to basically have one trait. Ok, maybe the girl (the sole source of flashbacks) goes from surly, to scared, to sad, and back to scared. I think that's the only thing that could even be considered a character arc in this whole mess. And, boy, that's a stretch.
A family of four hole themselves up in their bathroom as the result of a storm. A tree blocks the door. The daughter's inane flashbacks follow her lesbian relationship, and the two of them cast a spell they found on the internet. Chaos ensues outside the bathroom as a result, only these filmmakers don't feel the audience is privy enough to be allowed to know what's actually going on. We hear noises. A snake torments them. Daughter pulls a tongue from outside the door... and everyone eats it.
It's actually offensive how these filmmakers are treating their audience. They shelter your eyes from anything that might be of interest, they refuse to give these characters anything to do (well, they give them ONE thing), and offer no form of resolution. Literally, why am I watching this? It is a complete hollow shell of a movie, and I hope the writer and director never work again.
For a good laugh, read some of the raves quoted on the box.
