It was stew pit! Really looked promising, unfortunately it didn't deliver. Not even scary, just a waste of time and money. Bad cliched writing, jumpscares were a miss. Fails on every level. Very disappointing, there are so many ways this could have been good-but it all seemed contrived. A mishmash of scenes thrown at the viewer to kill time. There's no developed plot, no rhyme or reason. What you get is beetlejuice meets freddy. That's being nice, and honestly I feel like I've smeared "Nightmare on Elm Street" because even at it's cheesiest it was far superior to this flick. I'm NOT sad to say bye bye to bye bye man. This movie sucked.

The movie was So bad. It has cool special effects but when I returned from that I actually had to power through the dumb story and even dumber villain. And the title sounds like the creator got high one night and thought, let's make a movie based on why children say when they're two. Can't even hold back a dumb smile every time I have to say the movies name.

I really really enjoyed this movie I thought it was a very unique and a interesting take on a horror film, I LOVED it and it didn't come across as low budget film to me and it also had a familiar feel of that old flick " The Candy Man!!! I think you should watch it before you judge it! Oh, I REALLY loved the bye bye man's beast dog...
