Christopher T @RT53890291 12/22/2023 Terrible acting, script, and characters. The ending was such a non event and then it gives you a little more after the credits, which again leaves you confused as to what was there overall outcome. Don't waste your time with it. See more Rivkah F @Rivkah 11/12/2023 The premise was interesting but the writing was pretty terrible. See more Theresa M @RT11245684 10/05/2023 Gruesome, confusing, funny and decent acting.
