Notes:
*I saw the trailer and thought it looked fairly interesting.
*I don't think Zoe Kazan looks like a mother least of all with a teen daughter. Although it looks like it would be possible given the actors actual ages.
*It's a small, but somewhat recognizable cast which is cool.
*Oh this is from writer/director Bryan Bertino of Strangers and Mockingbird so it should be a pretty decent film after those.
*Anyways let us see if this is actually any good though or not.
Pros:
*The acting was pretty decent.
*They made an interesting monster with practical effects rather than CGI.
*There were some interesting ideas here and there.
*I actually jumped once which doesn't happen often.
Cons:
*Zoe Kazan comes off more as an older sister rather than a mom. Not sure that is intentional or not.
*The story just felt too flimsy.
*I think the flashbacks felt like filler to a movie that could have been an interesting short film.
*Having two different storylines that don't relate much to each other was not a smart decision.
*It was sadly pretty boring with few attention grabbing moments.
Verdict:
I was pretty disappointed with this one. It's definitely Bryan Bertino's weakest effort today. It's not horrible mind you. There just doesn't feel like much to it. It has strong points like the acting and the monster. The weak though is a floppy storyline that was mostly boring. I expected more from this. Honestly I would say to give this one a pass.
