    Entertaining enough

    This movie wasn't great but was entertaining enough to keep my interest. This was a basic done before plot structure . Killer foster kid deceives everyone into thinking he is an innocent kid before he starts killing. This was sort of a Mikey rip off without the clever kills. This kid was too obvious and sloppy as depicted in the end. It started out really well and kept my attention. The problem was they used guns too much they were definitely going for a California liberal anti gun message but instead created a message about proper gun storage ( which I support) and if that was the intention I give it one more star. Anyhow the movie started out good but fell flat in the 3rd act. They should have been more creative with the story. This movie was a decent watch but could have been better.

    Worst movie of 2024

    This is the worst movie of 2024. I am not kidding. Drew Sidora must be desperate for roles. This was terrible. More people need to start telling the truth about Tubi movies. Bad acting is unacceptable.

    Speaking of bad acting. This movie has alot of it. The adopted boy could not act to save his life. No type of range. Just the same preppy, cringe tone. Drew Sidora also sounded preppy and cringe with no range. The adopted girl could not act worth one red penny.

    The plot also was comical. A little boy goes around killing people and getting away with it. That doesn't make sense. He's a kid. Not a trained assassin.

    Do not waste your time with this movie. Unless you want to laugh at how bad it is. This is terrible.

    Awesome...!

    Ignore the naysayers completely.

    This was hilariously fluffy all the way, while the tyrannical psychotic little kid delivered in Spades.

    Sweet as apple pie on the outside...and an utterly rotten apple inside.

    This was well plotted and paced and the shocks and hits just keep coming one after another, and those on the naive clueless delivery end step into it all very nicely so to speak for this kind of film.

    Think of a Chucky in the flesh who is cuter, funnier, far more charming...and who is certainly as self-centered and chillingly ruthless. Again, ignore the naysayers... If you like these kind of films, then this is one you'll certainly remember.

    The kid nailed it...

    I rarely leave reviews.

    This was one of the most atrocious movies I have ever watched. From the terrible acting to the sub par story telling... all I can say is YIKES.

    Please do yourself a favour and don't even attempt to watch this horrible attempt at a movie. I feel incredibly annoyed that I spent so much time watching this atrocity.

    This is an hour and a half of garbage you will NEVER get back.

    There are tons of movies that are so bad that they're actually good- this isn't one of them. Quite literally one of the worst movies I've ever forced myself to sit through.

    The actors in this movie need to find new careers. I just have no words to describe how terrible they are.

    So Bad Its Good!

    So this is a pretty stupid movie. Terrible acting, ridiculous plot, wooden dialogue, etc. That said the movie was entertaining enough to keep my interest. It plays like a low budget Lifetime type of thriller. The movie is similar to Orphan but not nearly as well written, produced, or acted. Its a shame really because with just a couple of tweaks this could have been a legitimately good movie. I enjoyed watching it just to see how bad it would get and in that context it didn't disappoint! This cheesy entertainment value is why I gave it two stars rather than one star. I'm not sure how this movie is rated so high, perhaps those associated with the movie are giving it high ratings? This is not worthy of a 7.0 IMDB rating! YMMV!
