“I saw the (very good) trailer for this on IMDB, saw it was being released, and decided I would like to see it. It was hard to find, only two theaters, both good distances away, were playing the film. I thought me and a friend might be the only people seeing this in the theater when we sat down in the nearly empty theater. However, later on people started trickling in, and it eventually got a decent crowd, but I guess this movie is not being well advertised at all.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eIu0026#39;m not surprised, to be honest. This is a dark – very dark – movie, and other words you could use could be bleak and dreary and depressing. Itu0026#39;s pretty much a childhood nightmare come to life. A boy lives in an old house with hermit-like and very weird parents, and leads a lonely and friendless life, where he is picked on mercilessly by bullies at school. And there is no hope or goodness or relief from the darkness whatsoever…u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThat said, its very good in creating an oppressively menacing and eerie atmosphere, and there are some good scares sprinkled throughout. Very good acting as well, and atmosphere for a horror movie. I donu0026#39;t like the big u0026quot;revealu0026quot; though, and as always, think CGI effects tend to be weak, and not very well done at all, and detract rather than add to most movies. That said, its very well directed for a horror movie. But definitely not for everyone, with its artistic but nightmarish vision.”
