Scary but lacking clarity

Rating: 7/10 (14 September 2018)

Its a good movie but it could have been a lot better. Its a slow start. The characters need to be built up more in the beginning so we understand what they are about. For example, how would anyone know that Gabriel Byrne used to be Toni Collette's therapist? The story behind the family need to be worked on a little better to not leave viewers a little confused and disinterested. Maybe the editing could have been improved. There was little hints here and there that I picked watching Toni's speech during her mother's funeral but not sufficient and can get easily missed. I understand that they may not want to give the viewers the plot til the end so they keep watching but by the time the movie ends, some questions weren't really answered or clarified. I had to google the full story of the movie myself to find out and understand some things. The movie doesn't even get interesting until something happens to Milly Shapiro. The ending seems rushed. All in all still a good flick.
