Good use of light and stillness....

Rating: 7/10 (19 June 2018)

...which is what made the film good in its delivery to be nervous to watch. But alas not much of that either for this viewer.
It is garnered as a generation The Exorcist, or The Shining, but both have their own style that delivers far better quality. The closest to story for me is similar to Rosemary's Baby, but that was worth merit due to great actors and story (even though the director is an arsehole). Don't worry - there's no spoiler for anyone in that remark.
Given some scenes which were great little tense bits (son refusing to look in rear vision mirror, the dark halls with natural feeling light of a moonlit sky) does come across par excellence, but I did snicker at some bits that I'm sure I wasn't meant to snicker at.
I also wanted more from Toni Collette and Gabriel Byrne - actually, I wanted a lot more from him, but neither were that convincing.
Milly Shapiro was just ... ok.
The best was the son played by Alex Wolf, but I'm not sure if any of the actors weren't replaceable- which to me says that casting wasn't quite right.
I loved the dynamics of the film - top marks for that. Story was so-so, but it wasn't the film I thought I'd like.
In the end, someone will make a better version of something of this sort soon.
