This is a pretty good movie. Not great, but exciting enough. There are plenty of scary moments, and of course the urgent tone and frenzied editing of the various news outlets. Weird lighting, strange angles and shaky cameras add to the mood in the scary situations.
And we are given many different possibilities about the cause of what's going on. But we always suspect there is one main reason. We just don't know the details.
But it's not all a tense thriller. There are sweet family moments, and even a role for faith, as the family's priest helps with honoring Will.
And there is room for occasional comedy, like that huge pile of what looks like a week's worth of celebrity fan mail, but is really eight months of regular mail.
Kristen Dalton does an okay job. Claire has to be strong, but she falls apart occasionally. She's no superwoman, which is fine. She isn't necessarily a person of faith, but she is open to the idea of relying on a higher power.
I could have done without all the blood, but I guess that's how you know people are sick.
It's worth seeing.
