Solid low budget horror movie
First off, yes, the movie is low budget, extremely so. If you do not like low budget films in general or low budget horror in particular do not watch it. You will not like it. Very simple. No need to bash it for its low budget flaws.
What the film makers were able to achieve with this limited budget is impressive. I have seen many low budget films, some whose budget exceeded this film 100 time over, that do not look as good as this.
Here is what worked. The acting, for the most part, is solid. The VFX digital and practical FX are, again for the most part, good. Some are even impressive, some well, less so. There are some good shots and solid atmospheric b-roll as well. And yes there are some genuine moments of suspense. I enjoyed it. I was entertained.
The movie has flaws inherent in ultra low budget film making, but it is highly watchable.
So to sum it up, if you like low budget horror you will like this movie. If you do not then stay away.
