Review by Andie Karvelis:

When two besties get together to do a PJ party and horror movie marathon, things don’t quite go as planned. We can all relate to this story, you’re watching a scary movie and suddenly you start hearing EVERY weird sound in your house. It’s unnerving. You start wondering if it’s your imagination or if there really is a zombie in your friend’s antique trunk. True story, and no, I did NOT let her open the trunk to show me there was nothing inside. That’s horror movie no-no number 1.


Nicole Coulou and Caitlin Burdi portray the two lead characters, Charlie and Lily, and their on camera rapport is sensational. You can just tell these two are great friends. They are also really great writers. The screenplay was written by Nicole and Cailtin and I am so thrilled to see women writing in the horror genre. They knew how to craft a story and build suspense but also make it very funny by giving the audience a twist on the horror movie tropes. Skyler Pinkerton was the director, cinematographer and editor and his talents along with Nicole andCaitlin’s really make this film shine.
