    Not too bad, could do better.

    Kenyans have made a real effort here, it's nice to see our stuff out there in the world. I'm sure that our main issue is a lack of budget and good training. I was able to make it to the end of the movie which doesn't happen with most netflix movies for me. I mean some things made no sense but we'll just let it slide for now as Kenya continues doing better for itself. I don't even watch any horror movies and this one didn't make me squirm(which is actually a good thing for me.) We still have a long way to go and I hope that we make it there to sell our talent to the world. We have great actors here. Otherwise it was a good effort.

    Decent attempt but looks amateur.

    I really wanted to like this movie, but the problems are inescapable. Firstly not enough character build up for me to care who lives or dies.Too many issues remind me of the acting, breathing corpses etc.The movie left me with more questions than answers. I give a 3.5 for effort.

    A great movie.

    The ending was great. Didn't see that coming. A great effort. Got me at the edge of the seat. Few issues but all productions have a few issues. Africa has stories to tell.

    Appreciate the effort, but agree this is garbage.

    Only good thing about it is the soundtrack. Plot is silly, props are cheap, unfinished editing, no logic (I hated myself for watching it to the end) and the worst ending ever. If they had gone with the supernatural theme it would have worked. The opening act was very well done, but nose-dived after the motor started running. For serious film lovers, this is very very bad.
