SPOILER FREE - Emotional Thriller Masterpiece

Rating: 9/10 (18 April 2018)

This film is the STANDARD on the notion of "show it, don't tell it."
First, let me preface: Though this is not one of them, I am NOT a fan of horror films, mainly because they focus on cheap 'jumps' and gore.
THIS is a story about family, trust, and love, told by intimate actions through the eyes of a man, woman, and their children living in a very different environment with near immediate consequences.
John's directorial debut is a 'knock out of the park.' Emily is equally brilliant, as her chemistry with the entire cast is self evident. The children also hold their own as they make you care about the next moment of each scene. If you're thirsty for storytelling that will pull you in and send you on an emotional rollercoaster ride all the way up to the final seconds... Go.See.This.Film.
