The script was terrible and the line delivery made it even worse it was just a shitty movie and I can almost guarantee that they realized how bad the script was decided to double down on bad shock value gore the only thing this movie really had going for it was how it portrayed the deaf character and I think that was pretty exclusively because of the actor 💀
