Reviews:

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

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

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

  • Cecilia Strong
    Way too long and dragged out. It had potential, but it lost me halfway through.

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