Fanciful, disturbing, and wildly original, it announces the arrival of a fresh, bold voice in American cinema.

I liked this film. It starts out a bit slow, almost like a dysfunctional family piece, but it quickly picks up speed after that. It has some very creepy moments but it is the overall atmosphere of the film that makes it so good. There are no huge special effects or anything, but you can see that the producers and director of this film have been really good at stretching their budget and making the most out of the little money they had. For instance all the music throughout the film is made by a real orchestra and not just a guy with a synth. It makes the film sound bigger.It's a good buy if you want a low-key, but quality chiller!

Quite enjoyed this great Brit film. Although there are Horror elements, I did not find them to be scary or creepy enough for my high standards of Horror definition. That said, there are definitely some moments that are a bit creepy but there is so much more going on in this film than silly "BOO!" moments. A refreshing storyline that explores much more than shown simply in the trailer (missing, possible dead child), there are instances of bullying, single-parent family dynamics, the question of faith, the depravity and sadness of those in mental institutions, possible mental illness...this film has a bit of it all. You will be questioning different people and situations throughout the film which I find particularly engaging and enticing in Thrillers that we do not always get to see. Watching it a second time is recommended...sometimes we miss certain important elements. The backdrop of the film's location reminded me of industrial Manchester and the people live in the area (common amongst London or other urban suburbs). The ending was not quite what I expected, but that is neither good nor bad. I can't say much more without revealing "spoilers"...Definitely worth watching.

I liked the start of this movie, I really did. It got my attention, and drew me in with a really strong suspense and drama feel of old school horror, supernatural, suspense, psycho murder. I really didn't know which way it was going to go, it could have been really great at just about any twist, the beginning was really that good.But then, it slowed down, just as it should have ramped up. And got more and more convoluted (not confusing, convoluted in a totally boring way), and just finished with this sad, flat, boring sort of end. I wasn't scared, I didn't care about the lead character anymore because I was so bored with him, I just wanted it to end, and it went on and on and on and on... This REVIEW is boring and sucks, and the movie inspired that, it was boring and sucked.

I write very few reviews but this picture is one that I enjoyed so much I needed to write one. For those with little patience the first five or ten minutes are slow and then the story starts to bring you in to this family's tragedy. The story of Matthew and what happened to his younger brother is compelling. You really feel for this kid and most of the people in his life. There is plenty here for a ghost story lover and a mystery buff as well, the cast does a wonderful job and it was a pleasure to watch a movie that didn't rely on a lot of sudden sounds for scare effects. I watched this on "Netflix" streaming, but I am buying a copy and will be looking for more films by these filmmakers. Bob C.
