"More psychological thriller than horror but it was right up my alley. I actually loved it. "

"This movie is wild! The first half is a weird but interesting buildup, and then the second half is just nuts, it's worth the watch"

Rebecca Alexander

"Didn’t love it…a mild ‘like’ to be more accurate. It was slow, and weird but I did find myself hoping that the protagonist found real companionship. Sadly things just spiraled down from there."

Heather

"oh to have a homoerotic friendship with a prerecorded video…"

"Increasingly excellent as it goes along. Draws you in, via empathy, in an unassuming way. Then you’re like, oh ****, this IS a horror film isn’t it?!"
