Average Horror

Rating: 5/10 (27 May 2019)

I have not read the book so my revue is based solely on the movie. It's not a bad story. I see George Orwell's theme of our own internals fears being used against us as a basis. It is suspense based rather than gore. However, the suspense never really hits a high point. The acting by the kids is quite good which can adversely affect a film when children are used. One thing that I found very frustrating was the poor lighting in the dark scenes. Yes I know that might sound stupid. But in a film you should be able to properly see what is going on.
