What started off as a movie that gave me similar vibes to Moonrise Kingdom, ended up far from it.

In the beginning I thought I'd see a genuinely charming movie, with an important message and a nice blend of humour and horror, but instead it felt like a half of a well-written script, left to be finished by an 8 year-old and cramped with cheap jokes in every single scene.

The characters didn't develop much past their stereotypes (the twins even had the same outfit during the whole movie, just to drive in the home, that they indeed are twins) and I couldn't decide if I was witnessing bad acting or just bad overacting.

It didn't help that children felt like an ignorant adult's perception of 'what the kids do these days' (has dabbing even a been thing in the past few years? The movie thinks it's all the rage all the time) and the jokes felt overly forced and, again, cheap.

And that's how I would evaluate the movie: a potentially good message with charm and entertainment, burried under a mountain of forced and cheap. A big shame.
