True

This movie is very, very SLOW, there's nothing but talk and more talk, with more nothing. It goes nowhere from start to "thank god it's over" finish.

New levels of boring

It sounds like it should be a good watch. It isn't. It's a boringly awful movie that is sure to put you to sleep. This movie is just unwatchably bad. It's just terribly slow AND uninteresting.

Nice old tale

Costumes and movie sets works well, shame the story is a bit too obvious

yes, it works

I shall not say much, than bragging about the great set designs, location setting, wardrobes, mystifying score, wonderful use of light and shadow, and a very nice way to tell the story. the filmo lacks a bit on the focusing but the angles used shows profesionality. the cast is pure bred b-actors that mostly does a decent job all over, but there are some liplicking in some of the dialouges that could have been erased.

what drags down must be the slow pace, and maybe a bit tiring long dialouges, and if your in for action horror you might be a bit disapointed, but the grumpy old man found it thrilling enough. a 7 on the dish with a recommend

Thought I would give it a try

Thought I would give us a try, hoping against hope that it would be better than other things I've seen recently by this producer and sadly I was disappointed and will just avoid anything from Devon Parks moving forward. So much potential wasted, and I'm just really disappointed that I wasted my time on this particular film. I was really hoping for something more exciting that would capture my attention and keep me interested but I just did not find it with this film unfortunately. It's almost like there's too much that goes into trying to be artsy or cool that the idea of a solid storyline and plot is lost.
