This movie was really cheesy and the story and characters are too silly…

This was really bad. Bad acting, amateur directing and a very predictable ending. Not much to like about this…

Unfortunately, this ‘horror’ movie was actually hilariously, painfully terrible and was shockingly worse than King’s horrible novel…

Really wanted to like this but extremely boring and everyone seems like third rate actors…
