Trivia
The production was able to utilize an empty theater because of the statewide closure of businesses in New Mexico due to Covid-19. Fearful of production being shutdown by authorities, they devised a ploy to make it appear that contractors were working in the theater by setting paint and supplies outside the front door as a way to explain the activity at the theater. Periodically, someone on the crew would go outside and move things around to make them appear to be in use. Police cruised the front of the building almost daily but never had any suspicion to the ruse.

An insult to Amateur Dramatics.

At 36:19 one character asks another,"What do you think of it so far?".I immediately recalled Eric Morecambe's famous reply,"Rubbish!"

This film fails on every level. It eschews a music soundtrack and is therefore devoid of any forward movement or sense of foreboding,being as it is billed,a horror film.

The 'actors' cannot act at all.

I'm one of those film buffs that quite enjoys a 'bad' film,but they usually have a sense of enthusiasm behind them. This effort has no such thing.

Suffice to say we are in amateur night territory.

At 45:22 another character mutters to himself,"We're gonna be here all night".

Trust me.you will be thinking the same after the first 10 minutes.
