    Bruh, for a movie that has only ADR'd dialogue, a real person even ADR'd all of the dog noises, that is insane.

    The editing and writing on this movie is a complete fever dream, it's like a Neil Breen martial arts film.

    Also, how were the kid action scenes better executed than the adult ones???

I'm content just calling it a fun movie to turn your brain off for, it's not as crazy as Dick Maas's Amsterdamned, but is more focused in the story it's presenting, at least.

    What an amazing poster, it's 1000x better than the film itself.

    Supernatural slasher that's distinctly Italian, with bad, on the nose dialogue, all of which is dubbed over, and an attempt at the extreme color you'd get from Argento, but with no budget. There's some fun moments and neat practical effects, but the plot makes no sense, and I got tired of the nonstop day-for-night pretty quickly.

    The music is the most noteworthy thing about it, and even then, you…
