I was surprised this got a cinema release, it felt like that movie you pick up at supermarkets in the discounted section, whilst watchable, it is both extremely lazy and has massive plot holes and contradictions. For the majority of the film, it's invisible which personally I think it's because when you do see it, the monster looks pretty terrible. The effects are extremely cheap looking and really take away from the quality. There was one scene that should have been shocking that most of the people in my screening were laughing. The acting wasn't too bad but there were a lot of questionable character choices and how they kept popping up at locations for no real reason especially with how easy it was to break into condemned houses. The story has potential, worryingly they teased it's not over but this film in this form should not have a sequel. What kinda school was it? Can openly just talk to teachers by there first name? They ask for a fair help and you give them endless attitude? Or taking big gulp drinks into class? Weird. The lead girl was ok until she went from caring to abusive for no real reason in one scene. It's not completely terrible, it is watchable, but it's just not very good, especially if you're a big fan of horror films.

overall... amazing storyline, this is a whole another genre of horror movies , it truly brings out your inner fears of what may or may not be true about different cultural legends.
