One of the scariest if not the scariest film I've seen in a very long time.

Rating: 9/10 (13 January 2014)

After a series of initial paranormal occurrences in the home of a seemingly regular family, a child goes to sleep but forgets to wake up and after the unraveling of a dark family secret his father must enter a purgatory-like dream world called "the further" to remind his son to wake up, all while battling "insidious" entities that are trying to make it back into their bodies before they do. Exceptional acting by all, including the children.
One of the best and perhaps the scariest thing about this movie is that it did not go the obvious route of gory spectacle, blood spilling, suggestive innuendo, profanity laced, obnoxious characters screaming their way through the majority of the film only to get killed at or towards the end and whatever other nonsense is typical of so-called "scary" or "horror" movies made nowadays. Instead the writer (and director) employ simple things like "familiarity" and "psychological terror" that would unnerve even the most tough to ruffle among us... if it could happen to them if you happen to you right? Their lives seems so routine and so safe how could such horror possibly happen to such a lovely family?
