Stand out scene the is kid screaming in the car but overall I struggle to see why this is so well rated. I found the story to be lacking and the ending unsatisfactory. I was scared but wasn't entirely sure why. Personally prefer my horrors to still have a strong plot that keeps you hooked beyond where the next scare is coming from and that's where this film really fell down for me.

Not a particularly memorable watch and not one I will be coming back to. Decently well shot though with some good cinematography.

A pity shame as had expected such good things given the huge hype around this movie.

Almost gave up early on as this is a slow burn and Blaine Morris's Anne is hard to warm to. Her sympathetic victim acting needs some real hard work, especially evidenced in her scene opposite Danielle Harris where it is annoyingly apparent who is the queen and who is the wannabe. Glad I kept watching as the plot gets juicy despite some cliche dialogue.

Overall this is well worth a watch. Kept me on the edge of my seat with decent tension and a great ending. Would have rated higher with a stronger lead. Will be interesting to see what George Henry Horton puts out next.

Standout performances from newcomers Leonard Amoia (Henry) who hit a perfect balance of is he or isn't he creepy and Lucy Werner (Maggie) in her darker scenes. Mina Suvari, as expected, stellar.
