Seen it before..........Great Movie!!
I'm surprised this is rated so highly here. It's a generic made for TV movie. Quality is ok but so cliché and predictable that it just becomes a bit dull.
Really enjoyed this movie and would love to see a second movie following on
I have probably seen this movie only a handful of times because it genuinely traumatises me but yet I still consistently come back to it. The car wash scene forever sticks with me for some reason. Definitely a must watch for any kind of horror fan! <3
I remember I was pretty young when i first saw this and god did that hospital rake scene stick with me I’m trying not to spoil anything here but this movie and the tense atmosphere scared the crap out of me when I was younger I’m just about to rewatch it to see it’s it still holds up but I’m a big horror fan and I’ve seen my fair share of flicks and I’m not embarrassed to say I’m a little anxious to hit play so I wrote a review to procrastinate and stall here’s to my childhood nightmares being cured
