Quotes:

[first lines]
Yasmine: My name is Yasmine. I'm three months pregnant. One day, someone said "Men are born free with equal rights". The world in which I live is the opposite. Who would want to be born to grow up in the chaos and the hate? I've decided to spare him the worst.

A Cool Horror Film

I wasn't the least bit excited, nor was I totally dreading watching this film.It just seemed like a cheap thriller that didn't thrill at all, and I wasn't expecting much.Boy, was I definitely wrong.This movie is nothing but thrilling from start to finish.The blood and gore was grisly, and the action was cool and suspenseful.There was a handful of flaws with this film though, and I did predict something that happened in the story line.Overall, I wouldn't say this is the strongest of the Afterdark Horrorfest films, but it is definitely "NOT" the weakest, and I recommend it to all horror lovers, because it was worth watching, and I found a lot of material fresh and new.
