Seriously so bad it's hilarious. Why am I a struggling content writer instead of a screenplay writer? Apparently, one doesn't need any talent whatsoever. The plot holes are glaring! No one - from the producer to the director to the actors and everyone else in between didn't notice this? I can only imagine the people who left ridiculous 8 and 9-star reviews have a vested interest in this monstrosity.

Okay, this movie is bad - real bad. But the ironic thing is that the actress who plays the visiting Grandma is actually named Nana Visitor.

Besides that, this is typical LMN pablum that is predictable and mundane.

The acting was awful and the plot was so stupid and cringe it also pissed me off how nobody could fight off some 70 year old grandma with a knife but it was so bad it was kinda good and it had moments that made me laugh so that's why it's a 4/10 and not a 1/10.

This week's wacko is an insane woman who lost her young daughter and went mad. Years later she wants her grand daughter for herself. She reconnects with her estranged son and starts to help look after her grand daughter. Her clueless daughter in law is occupied with starting her business and is grateful for the assistance.

The actress Nana Visitor who plays grandma is pretty good and one efficient killer. Great idea having older lady psychos. Brings to mind Bette Davis and Joan Crawford in those 60s horror movies.

The house is pretty by the way.

Worth a watch.

I feel people who gave an extremely low rating and bad - or even nasty - critics were much too harsh.

The actors are good. The little family is engaging and Granny is deeply troubled and scary. Yes, the course of action is predictable, but it it unrolls the eay it should and the little girl is totally natural and REALLY good.

Grandma is beautiful, believable as creepy crazy woman in total denial of her irresponsability causing her daughter's death.

All the kids are good and believable, as well as the protagonist's friends. I must day that if I had relied on the bad ratings and skipped watching that movie, I would have missed a good time.

This is a movie to watch on a day when you want to relax and not rack your brains to follow a complicated plot with lots of twists and turns and intricate plot.

Perfect Friday night end-of-the-week movie to watch eating Cheetos with cola while vedging on the couch!👍
