heh

It's 4 family members stuck in bathroom... that's 98% of this film. The other 2% are flashbacks.

It was boring, unexciting and, well, largely predictable after the first 15 minutes or so.

Acting, cinematography, direction, effects, etc. All seemed relatively good, hence the 5 stars. But the story was just tired - essentially fear of the thing you never actually see. I'd rather watch something more than 4 family members in a bathroom.

Yes, we really need to do something...

We need to do something about every Tom, Dick and Harry with a video camera thinking they're capable of making a watchable movie.

We need to do something about vanity producers creating and enlisting shill accounts to pile praise onto their monstrosities through fake reviews and ratings.

Missed Opportunity

It's good and unique but also flawed. It has a dark crazy atmosphere with some disgusting and disturbing scenes. Story at first seems intriguing but then gets stupid. The mom's performance is bad. All in all, it's a fun original indie horror but it's full of nonsense.

You Need to Pass on this One

Starts off pretty OK and looks like it might be a keeper.

But early on withteh first flashback things take a turn and the movie starts to suck.

The acting is only marginally good but the father is horrible. He's abrassive without reason and becomes more and more annoying with his over the top bad acting.

Soon the movie is nothing more than tedious.

Then we find out it wasnt just a tornado. Something more sinister is happening. But by this time you won't care. Plus, it's not all that interesting.

No need to watch this crap. It's really bad.

Wasted potential

Had the potential to be really creepy (like the good boy scene), but sucky ending and cheap effects..
