Had there been some Xena-esque badass fending off the hordes of homicidal swinging dicks, this movie could have been pretty amusing (its not like they were zombies or anything difficult to kill.) But the women were totally weak, so the teenage daughter's burgeoning Electra complex was the only truly disturbing element.

What is it with horror movies these days and their always having to include homicidal religious people? Although, you can hardly call it a horror movie, when you see the end, I defy you not to have a nostalgic feeling about "The Outer Limits."

Aside from the terrible camera work, I enjoyed this goofy little flick.

This is basically the incel fantasy turn into a movie. As a sci-fi horror movie is not bad, it's developed properly and engages, though it's still not one of the best episodes but it's at least an entertaining one.

Top badass moment? The daughter Amy; a perfect example of why the end justifies the means. What an annoying brat she was. This could really have done with being longer as it teased lots of great ideas that didn’t get developed; it felt like when someone tells you “I can’t tell you” when they say they know something; frustrating. Couldn’t help wondering what happened to all the gay guys too. And the breast bag; such comically random poor taste. No cats, chainsaws or decapitations.

Wow! There were a lot of good movies in this film! Problem is it didn't focus on any particular plot theme or storyline and just edited randomly through so many pivotal scenes. Make the material for 7 different good films into one crap movie.

Probably should have been worse, but I found myself amused nonetheless. If Jason Priestley shaved his stubble he could still play a High School jock.

Really great. Dante is on his game, the despair and tension is ratcheted up pretty effectively and the end is just a huge kick in the balls (in a good way)

Started out very strong, with an interesting premise and good characters, but the second half really dragged, lost momentum, and never quite picked it back up. Also, the big reveal at the end kinda killed it for me.
