This film was so bad it was comical, but worse is it wanted so desperately to be taken serious. If you asked any stranger on the street to list the things that freak them out, it's in this film for one scene but because the scares are so broad and common place, every jump feels like you predicted it moments before it happened.
Every part of this story feels like a horror cliche taken to such an extreme that none of it feels believable. I didn't believe the main plot, didn't believe half the characters, didn't buy the sets or the costumes. I don't even believe the person who wrote the score knew anything about horror films beyond being told a scary story once over a camp fire when they were 10 that made them get goosebumps a bit, maybe. The only characters I liked felt as if they were pasted in to some comedy gore cartoon but weren't notified.
I can tell the director desperately wanted to make their dream B horror movie masterpiece but by shoving every trope into one clunky story, it all became a cliche you couldn't even laugh at. Only if they'd realized this could be a masterful camp dark comedy would this film have worked. I can tell from some of these reviews, some viewers think they pulled it off but I am warning you now, that is a lie. Instead they tried too hard to be the next "the fly" I'd describe this film as "how not to do camp horror."
