Reviews:

  • Mackenzie Madden
    A gripping story with strong performances. The ending was a bit predictable, but overall a great watch.
    Rating: 4

  • Megan Wiley
    Too much focus on special effects and not enough on the story. It felt like a missed opportunity.
    Rating: 2.5

  • Kelvin Wiley
    An absolute snooze fest. The pacing was terrible, and it felt like nothing ever happened.
    Rating: 1.5

  • Nico Hamilton
    The soundtrack was the highlight of the film. Unfortunately, the rest of the movie fell flat.
    Rating: 2.5

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