MPAA Rating: "R" (Violence, Gore, Nudity)
Genre: Horror
Director: Michael Mohan
Cast: Sydney Sweeney, Alvaro Morte, Benedetta Porcaroli, Dora Romano, Giorgio Colangeli
It is at times unsettling and the ending contains a strong shock element but the movie as a whole feels a little too familiar to engage its audience.

Genre: Drama
