“A brilliant work by director Greg Derochie… reminiscent of early Alfred Hitchcock.” Richard Boyle - San Bernardino Sun

“The film is an ingenious cheat on its limitations, focusing on internal horror and paying off with a white-knuckle third act twist that is just as frightening as anything a big-budget shocker could muster.” Chris Alexander - Fangoria Magazine

MarVista has sold the film in Spain, Australia, France, Latin America, Canada, Argentina, Turkey, Cyprus, Slovakia, and Vietnam.  In North America, the film is currently available on Netflix, iTunes, and Amazon.
