Seth H This movie creates a reasonably scary atmosphere which is ultimately wasted for lack of a coherent plot. The acting is good and the music pulls its weight. But it's almost impossible to figure out the ending. To wit, a young boy's beloved mother has been exiled from the family home for mostly undisclosed reasons, while a creepy mask-wearing woman has moved in with him, his father and his rebellious older sister. About halfway through, the interloper is revealed to be pregnant, presumably by the father. With the latter temporarily absent and the weather glowering, she grabs a kitchen knife and has at it with the sister while the boy hides in fear. Meanwhile, an evil clown enjoys an extended gig on a menacing TV. A dotty neighbor appears to have the boy's best interests at heart, but it's not clear if she has any say or sway in the matter. Daddy rushes home after the girlfriend phones him in a (pretend?) panic, but whether anybody actually remains alive at that point is speculative.

Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 05/10/24 Full Review Mad C Nothing original not even plot. Acting all together was decent enough. The script was a mess. Plenty of ideas never flushed out or explored. They don't confuse you or act as a misdirection but as an excuse to carry the vehicle and waste time. So this whole film has no scares. Nor does it make you feel uneasy in anyway. The plot points have all been seen before and done better. The cinematography was trying to hard to be artsy. It didn't add any atmosphere. They might have been going for isolation, this would make one storylines have cause. Its as if the director saw something in another film and thought "hey ill do that too". Then pieced together a script and tricks from multiple films to make the whole movie. it could be said these are all homages, but the entire film is a tribute, to multiple films, with nothing original to say?
