A tepid horror movie that runs out of ideas long before it runs out of victims.

[A] crummy shocker.
Gary Goldstein, Los Angeles Times
Rotten
Director Victor Garcia and screenwriter Richard D'Ovidio really just want to get down to business, so they don't waste much effort on plot.

It's all well acted and expertly crafted - quick edits that play mind and visual games with the viewer, music that heightens tension, some cool special effects - but most of the victims are people you want to slap even before their secrets are spilled.
