    This movie was long and pointless. I was so happy I could fast forward but even then the ending is laughable joke. I do NOT recommend.

    Great cinematography and acting. Plot and pacing problems abound. No horror at all. Was expecting a horror movie! Not a bad movie technically, but slow, and hard to sympathize with the main characters after awhile, and by the end, it just got laughable. Nobody wins, and I wasted two hours on a movie that could have been something so much more than kids rubbing mammary glands.
