    Heard this movie was to be a hybrid of kung fu and horror. Turned out just to be a horror movie. So that was definitely disappointing. As far as the movie itself, it was a pretty good effort. If I didn't go in with the expectation of seeing some kung fu, I probably would have enjoyed it more. Pretty creative and interesting, but still not a must see or anything.
