Better than you'd expect

Rating: 8/10 (7 January 2013)

A young boy falls into a coma like state and his parents try to find a cure. Is there something supernatural in play? The movie is watchable because it's well directed and paced. The shock tactic scares are effective. The story is quite logical in a horror movie way.
Liked the cast. Rose Byrne as the frightened mother is good as always actually a bit like her role in "Damages". Barbara Hershey is a surprisingly good non irritating mother with a sympathetic slant. Patrick Wilson is good too as the father.
A fault is that it was a bit too dark (lighting wise) at some parts.
It's a non gruesome but scary horror movie. Looking forward to the sequel as it keeps you wanting more.
