Bloody Disgusting

It's a strong debut by Weekes and nails the essential part of a horror movie: the horror.

Rated: 3.5/5

Screen International

The film has much to say about grief, guilt, assimilation and the on-going refugee crisis. And on top of all that, it's also a nifty nerve-jangler.

I very much enjoyed this...it's not exactly a horror film the way it was advertised but it was well paced and executed. It's definitely a conversation starter with it's themes on pain and grief.

Rated: 3/5

This movie had about 15 minutes of horror and suspension then pulled the curtain on the mystery. The rest is just a long documentary of how they believe refugees to be treated and/or their experiences. If you read the critic reviews, it sums up the purpose of this movie. I don't know about you, but I wanted to watch a horror movie, not an excuse to sad emoji refugees.

Solid horror, really well executed, creepy in the right ways, and not overdrawn or overdone.

Definitely not the regular horror movie out there. This one gets you to a different and intriguing world of refugees and the scares are few and we'll placed. You're hooked by the story as it builds tension. Acting is great and story arc is great too. Don't expect the best horror film ever but a different experience through the gente. Worth watching if you're not looking for the regular horror clichês.

Not only was this a terrible movie, but for some reason, rotten tomatoes did not allow me to get to this rating very fast. That leads me to believe that they want this to be at a higher rating than it really is. There was no acting and it was a terrible movie. Overall, don't waste your money or your time.
