REVIEWS:

I really liked the film! I'm absolutely delighted! It breaks stereotypes and offers a fresh perspective. It's such a natural blend of absurdity and normal reality. It's very subtle and sharp in places. The film is filled with meaning and deep emotions, yet it remains light, tense, unpredictable, and funny. Thank you!

ahahahahaha! funny! I love the cst, and the haunted disc idea is definitely cool. Bt 2 hours is just way too long for a horror-comedy of this type. Some of the dialogue scenes in the middle really dragged. If they cut 20 minutes out, it would be a perfect movie! Anyway - great work!
