Horror and Despair

Rating: 7/10 (6 July 2019)

This film is simply wonderful. This is the kind of horror I missed. This film doesn't rely on jump-scare, which is great. As the film progressed, things just kept getting scarier and scarier. And eventually, I started to feel despair and hopelessness. This has rarely ever happen to me, since I'm quite accustomed to scary movies.
Although, this film is mainly horror, the drama parts within the film is also nicely executed. I think it did a really good job showing the unspoken problems that many families may face. Miscommunications; I think are one of the main causes.
One of the key element of the film are the casts. Everyone acted so well. They all have great chemistry together. Toni Collete, however, was exceptional in her role as the mother. She was fantastic in every scene she was in.
All in all, I loved the casts and the tone of the film. The story is quite good, but the ending could use a little more work. Still, it is different and original, and I appreciated that. Overall, I'm impressed.
