    Where can I start?..

    1. The whole thing seems to be filmed on the camera of a cellphone from 2010

    2. Jumpcuts everywhere. There are YouTube videos made by 8 year old with better Jumpcuts. Often times it seems they jump cut to a different location, they were filmed in different hours of the day, and they can literally be in the middle of a PHRASE.

    3. They sometimes try to be a straight up sitcom. It makes no sense when it happens.

    4. The plot makes no sense at all. There are no plot holes, there are plot canyons

    5. Whenever they make a purposeful joke, they add a laugh track they probably recorded from a recording of a TV show that the director made when he was a kid.

    6. SPOILER The main actress gets an obvious demon daughter and immediately denies she gave birth to her. Then she is suddenly in a meeting with a racist (female) principal saying her daughter was expelled

    7. Obvious cut content.

    8. The girl looks 20, not 5

    9. Terrible acting acting. You just have to see it.

    10.Racial messages sudden and out of nowhere.

    11. There are many more things I can put here, but I'd spend more time in this review than what the creators spent filming and editing it. Just saying there are many more great things about this. Tons more. I literally only talked about 1 plot hole.

    To sum it up, this is AWESOME. The beginning is slow, but after 3 minutes I couldn't stop laughing. Just go see this online right now, it's free and 13 minutes long. Trust me, you won't regret it.

    In all honesty, I wanted to like this. I wanted it to be good; I didn't want it to be as it was. I was hopeful. This movie doesn't know what it wants to be. It is, in fact, almost like a pilot episode for a bad Television show aimed at a minority audience. It uses it's "all black cast," and blatant racial stereotyping to try and appeal to a "diverse audience" with its "diversity." The reality is this: the acting is bad, the camera work is bad, the sets are bad, and your attempt to forcibly promote "diversity" culminated into an ideological mess of cinema. It's a student film; a tonne of the things in it can be excused due to lack of funding and experience, but it doesn't excuse a bad movie. Your touting of all black casting and inherent diversity make you look like ideological morons. Your movie and acting and quality of work are shoddy. This movie gets a one, because zeroes are not possible.

    i can tell no effort or talent were put into the "movie", comedy horror can be done, but this is an extremely bad example of it

    not only that but you trying to credit your film as feminist, makes it worse, not because its feminist but because its overly political, a good film should be sudtle with it

    I get that this is a student film. I ran across it on Kickstarter and made the mistake of watching it. There is so much wrong with this film. The sound is mushy. The lighting is awful. The jump cuts, dear god, the jump cuts. I have seen better quality movies filmed on iPhones. And what is with the wannabe subliminal laugh track? This claims to be a feminist horror comedy, but there is nothing feminist about it. Having a woman in the lead does not make this feminist automatically. Nor does having a woman play the demon make it feminist. (Story of Lilith anyone?) This is just awful and not even in a good way.
