3.0*/5.0*

Kevin Lewis' latest film is a considerable step back from Willy's Wonderland. It's a much more traditional horror film that offers nothing new. Not that I dislike core genre work, but then everything hinges on the execution. While decent, there's just not enough that stands out here.

The effects are pretty solid, the build-up of the tension is fine and the finale delivers. It's just that everything feels a bit too derivative and without any surprises, it's not a film that is bound to be all that memorable. Solid horror filler for this time of year, but I expected a little more from Lewis.
