Good acting, attrocious writing

Rating: 4/10 (19 September 2018)

Nothing in this horror thriller is even remotely believable. It takes itself very seriously and expects you to believe some of the situations that take place but bottom line is that Hellraiser and Transformers are more believable than this thing. Lets see, where to start.
You're at the hospital, and a 100lb woman gets hysterical. She is already restrained by 2 people, so what do you do? Call the cops? nope. Inject her with tranq lol. Do you have any idea how irresponsible that it? The hospital would get sued not to mention how medically irresponsible it is to shoot something into someone you dont know the history of. This could not even happen in a 3rd world hospital. But wait we are not done.
The father is the granddaddy of all cliches. Completely oblivious to to his surroundings and does everything in his power to obstruct any reasonable conversation or logical thought. For instance, a child falls off a slide and breaks her ankle, then a nun goes missing, then the car rolls down a street with his daughter in it, then there is a fire in a treehouse outside in the middle of a snowy winter, then his son falls out of the treehouse and goes into coma, then the son almost dies after being told he was stable, then his wife tell him that their adopted child papers are not right and still he does not have even a single shred of doubt that it was all coincidence. I mean... I know you needed a whipping dog to make the story work, but come on. I think magic and unicorns are more believable than this and I didnt even cover everything.
Otherwise, the acting was actually excellent especially the young lady playing Esther (Fuhrman) and the other two kids. The mom and dad were ok but very cliche and thus not particularly memorable outside the bad writing mentioned above. This could have been much better with a better story.
