OK! It was worth a watch..

I saw this not too long ago.. It's just your average typical comedy horror which mostly takes place inside the house, where weird things can happen.. With Brad Dourif playing the Mad Professor Kapps.. I'm sure mostly a lot of viewers will notice this guy is either a genius at his work, or he's totally insane! Well, hats down to the actors Nectar Rose, Tiffany Shepis and Parry Chen who kept me viewing this thing until the end..

But to sum it up.. It was worth a watch. I suppose anyone can watch this on a rainy day..

But for director Rolfe Kanefsky, he did his bit by making the film enjoyable as possible.. If he didn't, I would've stopped the film halfway and call it a day.. Nice try, Rolfe! Keep up the good work! An average 7 out of 10!
