The premise is really promising. If you are bored after seeing a lot of logic less horror comedies, then this piece of art is for you. I can't call Cronin's debut as most original & completely unique but I have to call it one of best horror films ever made. Still it's unusual, not like the typical horror films available. It's dark, slow burning and artistic. The film has two laye...
