Reviews
Greenes Please don't spend money on this.
Dynamixor The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.
SanEat A film with more than the usual spoiler issues. Talking about it in any detail feels akin to handing you a gift-wrapped present and saying, "I hope you like it -- It's a thriller about a diabolical secret experiment."
Sanjeev Waters A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.
