 I started watching it with the best intentions... after about twenty minutes I couldn’t take it.

 This film is 'nothing surrounded by nothing starting from nothing and leading to nothing.'

The acting and direction receive harsh criticism while only minor appreciation is shown for similar genre films like 'Altitude.' Ultimately, the reviewer found the movie frustrating with a pointless plot and ineffective tension. The film ends unsatisfactorily and leaves little impact beyond disappointment. Read this candid review before watching ATM and discover why it falls short of its horror promises.

 'Collide With The Sky' is an album that isn’t necessarily bad, but feels old from the very first listen.

 'King For A Day'... is absolutely the worst song on the album, featuring Kellin Quinn trying to play an angry Hayley Williams.
