Nothing wrong with a lot of violence and bloodshed on screen - again The Vault had none of this either. James Franco, Clint's girl, Tarryn Manning... i was expecting something better.
Yeah. Dunno then, I just found it quite enjoyable... I guess the operative word in your review might be 'expecting', as I wasn't expecting much at all! 'Tonight She Comes' is a different kettle of fish though, so I wouldn't let our difference of opinion put you off. It's not brilliant, but it does feel like an actual horror film rather than what usually passes under that description these days.
