What people are saying
- JPV852★ 6/10
Okay horror-thriller that's predictable in the ending (typical of all modern horror to be fair) but performances were alright and at only 80-minutes, doesn't overstay its welcome. Nothing groundbreaking or terribly memorable yet entertaining and funny for anyone who regularly watches YouTube vloggers and is worth a one-off viewing. 2.75/5 (C+)
