"The movie is the bomb! I really enjoyed it", — itsdashabitch.

"Was expecting more, to be honest. The tension took a very long time to build up and the retribution came too quickly, didn't even have time to enjoy it. The funny moments are funnier than in other horror movies. Rod as a character and the fist shaking scene are in the voice. As far as scares go, zero. Not one second was scary. 'Nope' is a hundred times scarier", — niggapig.
