This film has certainly got some mixed reviews but for me it really wasn't that bad. The acting wasn't as bad as people are making out, there are a few capable and familiar faces in this film, namely Shawn Ashmore and Jonathan Tucker who are both pretty good here.

The plot is simple but effective and does create some tension, the subject matter makes it hard to be completely scared as its very unlikely you will find yourself in a similiar situation to this group of people! However the gore is plentiful and will satisfy people looking for this kind of film.

Not the best, but it a decent horror film and will entertain you and your friends on a Friday night.

Customer rating: 4 out of 5 stars not perfect, but better than most

Quite a good film, but not perfect. I found it scary, because there was littlethey could do about there predicament or to get out of it. It had a decent plot and what I thought was a fairly novel concept. The film had it's fair share of unsettling and gory scenes.

Customer rating: 1 out of 5 stars Don't waste your money!

One of the worst films I have ever seen. No storyline and terrible acting. What a waste of time and money!
