User Reviews
GoreHound88 – 7/10
“I went in expecting a fun slasher, but this really digs into the dark side of fandom. The kills are brutal and the tension builds nicely. Sure, it's a bit dated, but the unsettling vibe stuck with me.”
CelluloidSam – 5/10
“The premise is gold, but the execution felt a bit messy. The characters make some choices that had me rolling my eyes, and the pacing drags in the middle. Still, there are some genuinely creepy moments that made it worth a watch with friends.”
MidnightMovieMaven – 6/10
“For me, this was a fascinating character study wrapped in a horror shell. The descent into madness is compelling, and the atmosphere is spot-on. But the low-budget polish might turn off some viewers. I enjoyed it more than I expected.”
VHS_Vile – 4/10
“I appreciate what they were going for, but the acting is rough and the story feels like it borrows from better films. The only real scare for me was the ending, which was decent. Not something I'd rush to rewatch.”
