Hard to take seriously


When it throws up the antagonist/s as a very old lady and her husband, which it does very early on, then it's hard to take the threat seriously. You spend a lot of the film wondering how essentially a pair of zombies from Night of the Living Dead can wipe out all these young people in one night.

Lorraine was also a very contrived character. It was weird how she did a u-turn on being a prude about the porn to actually wanting to participate. She has the audacity to call her boyfriend out for being insensitive that he doesn't allow her to have sex with another man all of a sudden. Then it occurs to her later on she may have hurt his feelings? 😄 It's that silliness that leads to the killings in the first place.

Film was ok. Just not very scary and pretty contrived.

I'll say 1 thing: The best part of the movie WAS this woman portraying this old lady cause I didn't recognize her at all.. Well done.. The rest of the movie?? Not so much

Yeah I didn’t really but the villains either - it was a weak spot of this film
