Ratings and reviews

As most movies go of the horror sense this one had me hooked from the very beginning, although apparently the world isn't fully accustomed to the ideal of "Double Tap" Which in entails if you shot it once and it goes down, shoot it again to make sure it stays down... But then again all in all the movie was a breath of fresh air for the Horror movie genre which seemed to have lost its way in the gorefest world we call home.

A great horror film summed up in a dramatic tale about a mother and daughter, the title name has double meaning and the story takes its time as it moves. I found the plot and acting of the cast very solid, the practical effects were done well but not exactly great. This is definitely a low budget film but good non the less. My only complaint is that the little girl Lizzie played by Ella Ballentina can test your patience. All in all a solid film worth watching.

This had a lot more depth to the characters than your average monster movie, or even horror movie for that matter. For what seemed to be done on a fairly small budget, I think they did a very good job. If you're looking for a mindless gorehouse monster movie, this one might not be for you. But if you want more out of your viewing experience, I highly recommend it.
