This movie was extremely blah. It had the potential to be a really good film but is riddled with holes. None of what is going on makes any sense. It kinda reminded me of Saw. Like there was some game going on but there was no real absolution. Maybe if you dive more into it, there's something I missed but I seriously doubt it. For a storyline based on one of the horrors of the world, it falls flat. There's no redemption what so ever and I'm not sure how this movie has ratings of 10. They are obviously fake reviews. This movie was no more than a four at best. Watch if you want but don't expect some amazing psychological thriller because that it is not.

The actress playing the lead was beautiful & remote & scared & traumatized. She gets a bit of good luck & timing after the most frightening character; her slumlord of her dilapidated room for which she is 6 months in arrears. She is reduced to selling blood in her neighborhood where the food sellers dont take money without papers like ID-- sounds ominous but goes nowhere as all this set up seems a pointless waste when they rush the second act: Her getting a free house ( in the 48 hrs or she may lose it) so she sells her blood to get to the lawyers office. Despite the weather & time they head out to her new free house. From family she doesn't recall. I thought making the lawyer a guy who in snowstorm would drive away in the dark WITHOUT making sure the housekeys worked was funny. The rest of the film is SLOW, boring meandering & then it goes down from there. Its not scary the story is weak & worn. The actress cannot be blamed for the script but I also think she was miscast. I just didnt buy any of it. So save 90 plus minutes or so. I regretted staying as long as I did. As for the filmmakers; everyone did their job well enough- it just didn't result in a great film. Next time they will be better!!

I think 4-5 is a fair score. The first thing I'd say, respectfully, is when the main character is supposed to be penniless, don't cast someone who's clearly had work done to their face. She's a decent actress don't get me wrong, but it really took me out of the film. People who have never had money don't have lip-fillers. That aside, I thought it was okay overall. Some parts were ridiculous. The script could've been better. But the premise was good. Some cliche moments will likely make your eyes roll. But if you like a thriller, and aren't expecting the next Silence of the Lambs, then this film is serviceable.

I can say with confidence that it is a banal wasted hour and a half to watch.

There is still a stereotype that you can take a pretty girl with a mustache and a crazy maniac and bring them together. It already sounds trite. And when such a crooked performance also turns out, then what is there to talk about.

The actress of the main role does not play very well. In some situations, it can be seen that it does not pull out.

The main downside is that the script is imperfect and confusing. The authors were flying in their thoughts, so the creative team had to start from their understanding of the picture and shot a set of random scenes that the editing director put together. That's how this movie came out.

And the ending completed the misunderstanding.

Three is the ceiling for this project.

This film was, in my opinion, exciting, thrilling, and an overall entertaining film to watch. It delivered the necessary chills, to keep its audiences fully awake, and engaged. This was a great achievement for the director James Cullen Bressack. He created a well-deserved horror/thriller, without the necessary clichés. The film is not too scary that it becomes unwatchable, so the full potential of its enormity will not be missed. Actress Yulia Klass (Alice) plays remarkably well as the victim. There are twists and turns that keep you intrigued.

Definitely two thumbs uo for me.
