This film had enough creepy thrills to make it not a bore to watch. I would recommend it for a night in with your significant other, particularly in October when scary movies are best watched.

Serves as a watchable little slow-burn that’s sure to scare the crap out of filmgoers who haven’t watched many horror films before.
