Poorly executed short, terrible acting. Plot less story. 2-10

I saw this film in Manchester a few months back at a special screening. I am so sorry it is a terrible short film. I am sorry to say the music was silly and over the top. It was so silly. Cringe worthy.

This story was terrible, the acting was poor. I also showed this film which has now been streamed online too my children and they were creeped out when one of the characters mentioned "Only special children are allowed in there" And another thing one of my children pointed out. Why would a mother let a small girl out at night? Not even miss her? There would be a search party out. It was pointless tripe.

The only thing I will say is that the production value was good. Pointless mind you because it does not show in the slightest that the director has any creative ability, or know how to work with the story. It was just pointless and terrible.

Badly written, badly acted and not suitable for children at all. Story wise no parent would let their child wonder around at night. In a nutshell this short film is a shiny Bentley with no engine 2 -10 that only because of the production value. The special effects were good and thats about it. Not worth viewing at all..
