The talented cast and interesting premise lift this movie up a lot more than what it would have been. It kind of drags at times but it's watchable.

A fantastic concept conveyed well by the talented cast. Sadly the set designs and bizzare lighting choices alongside some odd direction and editing choices firmly age the material and detract from an otherwise compelling watch.

The movie's got a great idea and it's even got some really good scenes, which show us what it's like in the afterlife or trying to test it out.

Also, the acting isn't amazing throughout this movie and the same goes for the dialogue, which feels like it's getting read from a script on the set.

The action scenes throughout this movie are honestly hilariously stupid because they try too hard to be some what scary and it doesn't work for them.
