Yippie Audience Reviews

Cleveronix A different way of telling a story
ThrillMessage There are better movies of two hours length. I loved the actress'performance.
Rio Hayward All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.
Abegail Noëlle While it is a pity that the story wasn't told with more visual finesse, this is trivial compared to our real-world problems. It takes a good movie to put that into perspective.
