This morbid, cruel movie seems leached of all things that might inadvertently give viewers pleasure.

Some low-budget manifestations of the supernatural jazz up the frights now and again, but as the novelty of worshiping a hole in the ground fades, the film paints itself into a corner.
Nicolas Rapold, New York Times

Creepy atmospherics enliven this idiosyncratic chiller.
Frank Scheck, Hollywood Reporter
Fresh
An impressively oozing slab of indie horror that bodes well for first-time writer-director Chad Crawford Kinkle.
Rob Nelson, Variety
Fresh
Kinkle shows welcome restraint in pacing his grimy little tale, even if the sum of its parts never quite feels like more than an admirably rendered campfire yarn.
Robert Abele, Los Angeles Times
