Customer Reviews

This is a full length movie
One of the few full length movies. It has the full 69 minute run time. The quality is good and I would have given a full five stars except for the RE logo in the bottom right corner all through the movie. For this reason I will give Reel Enterprises a no vote and buy somewhere else.
