"if every debut from an indie director were this strong, we'd be seeing new horror movie deals signed every other week!"

Entertainment Insiders
"Mena’s one objective is to get audience members to jump, yell, and grab each other, and he does it. Again and again. He manages to make you jump out of your chair left and right."

GoreGalore.com
"a very solid, suspenseful horror film with one of the better storylines the slasher genre has ever seen."
