Reviews

JPV852

Slow burn of an Italian horror film, shot in New Orleans, that is a bit too dull for the first two-thirds (finding myself thinking about things I need to do around my place) and had little tension.... that is until the last act which was pretty wild, but not quite enough to save it for me. That said...
