Lucas Moore JVS Media & Productions/Team JVS It's great to see an actress of Mo'Nique's pedigree have so much fun in a role. It's a slick, by the numbers horror movie with great pacing that makes the movie float by before it overstays its welcome. Rated: B •  Aug 2, 2023 Full Review Sharai Bohannon Dread Central It鈥檚 a predictable time that refuses to go through any of the more interesting doors it opens. However, it鈥檚 also a showcase for Mo鈥橬ique to prove that she鈥檇 kill it in this genre. Rated: 3/5 •  Feb 21, 2023 Full Review

Rochael R It's definitely not a bad movie but, if you're looking for a clich茅 horror/thriller movie that's very predictable then this is it. Monique's performance was actually pretty good and it's refreshing to see her dive into something outside of the box. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 03/03/25 Full Review Read all reviews
