Movie Review – The Shock Labyrinth 3D
I expected myself to be shocked, horrified and be in that nail-biting-wanna-pee-in-my-pants moment. Alas, it was not to be. There were tons of creepy moments but that was just about it. Creepy. Nothing else. I won’t be having nightmares/ dreams tonight. How disappointing. They had it all in there…the recipe for pure horror was all...
