Reviews:

  • Octavia Sosa
    An overhyped movie that failed to deliver. I didn’t connect with the characters or the plot.

  • Cohen Richard
    An intense thriller that kept me guessing until the very end. Definitely worth a watch.

  • Silas Butler
    Great concept, poorly executed. There were too many plot holes, and the ending felt rushed.

  • Chandler Koch
    Surprisingly good! I didn't expect much, but the twists and emotional depth really pulled me in.

  • Kobe Pollard
    Boring and uninspired. I struggled to stay awake, and the characters were forgettable.
