Most people only write a review on ‘Shudder’ if they have taken the time to watch the whole movie, but there a few who feel it necessary to comment and try to discredit a film without watching the entire thing. Generally I find most films quite predictable but still entertaining, however this one was surprisingly interesting and kept me wondering what was going to happen in the conclusion.
Has some of the creepiest scenes I've watched and doesn't rely on jump scares. Add to that a very interesting storyline involving a culture that isn't shown often and it all adds up to an awesome pick for anyone's "Scary Movie Night"
It was fine.
I wasn’t really in the mood for a documentary so I thought I’d made a mistake in the first 15mins but the story started to draw me in. After about the halfway mark it REALLY ramps things up so I feel sorry for the sucker above who gave up after 51mins and gave it one skull. Damn dude you look like a bit of a fool 😂
I'm really glad i watched this during the day!! The movie is a slow burn for sure, but absolutely worth it!! It's one ofvthe best horror movies I have watched.
