The Leech Audience Reviews

Interesteg What makes it different from others?
Steineded How sad is this?
Ketrivie It isn't all that great, actually. Really cheesy and very predicable of how certain scenes are gonna turn play out. However, I guess that's the charm of it all, because I would consider this one of my guilty pleasures.
Sanjeev Waters A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.
