    This was probably the second worst movie I have ever seen. Bill Cobbs was good, but everyone else was in serious need of acting lessons. The filmmakers were really scraping the bottom of the extras bin to fill out the rest of the cast, probably due to budget constraints. The only makeup/special effect was the old woman, & it looked extremely fake. But the worst part was the story. The plot was slow moving, & had no real point. The ending seemed haphazardly put together, & I still have no idea what to make of it. I got the feeling that they shot each scene of this movie in a single take. I had no real understanding of what was going on until the anemic ending, & it seemed that the writers had absolutely no interest in telling the viewers WHY, which to me is the most important thing. They just ended the movie after the only semi-intense scene, again probably because they ran out of money. Don't waste your time, or a queue spot, on this movie.

    Skip this one folks. The first hour plus are deadly boring with virtually NO action or suspense. The last 15 minutes are just plain old stupid. You will do better elsewhere.

    The other reviewers are right. Horrible acting, horrible direction, and a half-witted story line make this one of the worst movies I ever rented. The movie is amaturish at best, and you're sure to find better films on youtube.com. They must've had like a 1,000 dollar budget. And it all went to Cobbs. I thought that little picture on the cover was for some independent film award, but it's obviously recognition for longest home video.
