A snooze fest, not a whole lot goes on, also had very predictable twists, just not the most solid of horror flicks I’ve seen

Kinda predictable unfortunately

Im glad the sisted at least survived but yeah idk, i could kinda guess the jumpscares and plot points pretty easy

But the special effects and stuff were good so I'll give them that
