SilentScream7 – 7/10
“I wasn't sure what to expect, but the mix of dark humor and creeping dread really worked for me. The retreat concept gave it a claustrophobic vibe, and I loved how the stories they told started to feel all too real. It's weird, but in a good way.”
GoreGoddess – 6/10
“The atmosphere was fantastic, but I felt the pacing dragged in the middle. Some of the scares were predictable, though a few genuinely caught me off guard. It's not a masterpiece, but it's a unique take on the genre. I'd recommend it if you're into artsy horror.”
PhantomFears – 5/10
“Honestly, I found it a bit too quirky for my taste. The characters were interesting, but the story felt disjointed, and the 'scary stories' didn't really scare me. Maybe I missed the point, but I left more confused than terrified.”
VigilanteViewer – 8/10
“This one surprised me. It's more of a slow-burn psychological horror with a lot of character interaction, which I dig. The chemistry among the Tobacco Force was great, and the way the retreat spiraled into madness was gripping. Definitely worth a watch for horror fans.”
