Pros: Free parking
Cons: Wasted my money on a ticket, and concessions. And. Wasted my time.
Summary: Even for a horror movie.. it had a stupid plot setup, predictable at every moment, conflicting screenplay, etc. I can't tell you how many times I saw something in one scene conflict with another.. Just watch how many times the flashlight it on, then
