If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.
Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.
It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.
This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.
I've seen countless horror films so it can be hard to find one that is still unpredictable and scares. This one didn't disappoint as only a few of my predictions were accurate. I won't say anymore as I don't want to give anything away, other than the acting, especially from Shree Cook (Stephanie), is superb.
Rhoda Penmark (The Bad Seed) has nothing on this little monster. The problem is, though, that there's no foundation in reality for this allegory, if it's not merely directorial masturbation to turn yet another buck in today's Horror market. Anything goes these days, whether it makes sense or not. This one, like the unicorn book Stephanie reads, makes no sense. Was that the point of the film? To make no sense? Or are we to believe that children all over the world are now doors for unseen demonic entities who possess them and plan, though them, to destroy the planet from inside the family structure. See how confused I am? Look. Avoid this one unless you like dark rooms, dead bodies, Slasher scenes, jump scares, and watching people step on broken glass jars and slice their feet wide open. I give this one a three only for the little girl's acting, which was close to perfect. Check out Blum's The Keeping Hours if you want one of his films that actually makes sense and, well, is a keeper.
This feels like a prequel for Elfen lied. it is the same story, same powers, on girls too, Like the anime could have happen in the same time or after they're released. Anyone else felt this?
This film failed to deliver as a whole but there are aspects of this movie that showed great promise. The acting was above par along with cinematography and special effects but the storyline and sequences unfold so slow I mean the little girl is basically alone and talking to herself for the first half of the movie. We get a lot of character study but not much character building. It's not a scary film as hard as it tries everything just comes across as imaginary. Way to many scenes that weren't needed. I would have to say this film isn't something worth watching.. I give it a POOR MOVIE RATING.
