    Random acts of stupidity

    Who watches this crap back and says "Perfect" without saying, "Why would they do that?" "Why didn't they do this? Many of the killings on this movie would not of happened if the people did not let the guy kill them, literally just waited to die. Expected a lot more from this, but was not shocked at all it was not good, seems like a trend lately.

    Unique little horror flick

    I thought this was a really unique little horror flick.

    Sure, it has a few of the standard horror movie tropes, and I feel like the script was a little over-written, but that's kind of where the criticisms end.

    It was a fun little plot that was engaging throughout the (fairly short) run time. The ideas about art imitating life and vice versa was a fun take, and it didn't feel too on-the-nose. I appreciated the fact that it was pretty to the point and didn't feel the need to drag things on. The kills were fun, which is always important in a film like this, and I want to particularly point out cinematography and lighting; they did an excellent job with both. The third act was also a really great way to end it, which I was surprised by.

    I didn't have high hopes going into this one but I really enjoyed it!

    Thumbs down

    I really didn't like this movie. The background music was too loud to hear anything. It took forever to get going. Barely see any action or any killing and the ending sucked.

    Tries hard, could have been better

    The director seems to work hard to make this film look like a highly stylish gory thriller but alas in the act of stylishness it ends being a wannabe slasherman movie with not much thrill or solid substance. Loads of gore also do not help much to give it the crime thriller feel. Had it been made as a straight crime thriller it would have been a way more enjoyable movie and with better results.

    Interesting ideas, but not much else

    The film has some interesting ideas for both plot and cinematography but isn't actually good. The plot is slow and uneventful, and the ending comes out of nowhere.

    The comic book visuals are potentially interesting.

    The cast is good and the technical side is good enough to watch. but I wouldn't recommend it.
