that great, basically
Die Hard-but-with-Tyrese-instead set inside of a home goods store. Might still be a fun watch? Worth a look at least.
Here s the official trailer (+ poster) for Jon Keeyes

Nothing else in this schlocky horror-thriller comes anywhere close to matching its cheerfully grotesque opening. Harold, a white-bearded Bible-quoting hellfire fanatic (played by Bruce Davison), is presiding over a last supper; his wife and teenage daughters look terrified. After theyâve finished, he tells them that the wine was poisoned â they should prepare to meet their maker. Except it turns out not to be true. The whole thing is a sick test of the womenâs submissiveness to him, their lord and master (though there is nothing godly about the way he squeezes his daughterâs knee). It is the last genuine moment of actual tension in this silly, derivative and wildly unconvincing film.
Ratings info(May contain spoilers)
In one scene, a woman s head rolls back to reveal that her throat has been cut, and there is blood around the wound.
There are several scenes of supernatural threat including those in which a woman is menaced and levitated by an unseen force, and in which a corpse inside a sack returns to life and growls. There are also some jump scares.
In a sacrificial ritual, a woman s throat is cut below frame, followed by a scene in which blood briefly spurts from the wound.
There is a sex scene and also mild bad language ( shit , sod ), and milder terms ( Jesus ).
