Reviews:

  • Emery McClure
    The plot was full of holes, and the acting felt forced. I had higher expectations.

  • Lilith Hester
    A solid, enjoyable film. The performances were good, though it didn't really break new ground.
    Rating: 3.5

  • Justice Webb
    Too much focus on special effects and not enough on the story. It felt like a missed opportunity.
