References to Moviefone and Rotten Tomatoes do not constitute reliable secondary independent coverage. No evidence of real world notability. KDS4444 (talk) 12:13, 14 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete not even reported on by the typical niche horror outlets. Honestly pretty strange considering IMDB's $1mil estimated budget. Jergling (talk) 19:46, 14 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Strike that. Dread Central is apparently one of those outlets. Do they know their website is compromised? There's a sneaky script that links to a spamring if you click the header while it's still loading. -Jergling _{PC Load Letter} 19:24, 21 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Nevermind the nevermind. See below. -Jergling _{PC Load Letter} 19:31, 21 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Keep the film is reported on by Dread Central, which mentions it here as well as here. Hitcher vs. Candyman (talk) 21:56, 15 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Dread Central appears to be a spamblog, based on the procedural nature of those articles, the 0 comments on every article, the >50,000 Alexa rank, and the fact that every page has a malicious script that opens "findbetterresults.com" upon clicking random links. -Jergling _{PC Load Letter} 19:31, 21 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Comment In addition, I have come across a video of the film's trailer at The New York Times website. Hitcher vs. Candyman (talk) 01:49, 16 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Keep as has coverage in Dread Central and Horror News which are both reliable sources for the horror film genre, enabling a pass of WP:GNG Atlantic306 (talk) 01:02, 21 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
