Very disappointing

Rating: 1/10 (21 April 2015)

I was very disappointed with this film, because I had heard so much about it that I had saved it for a real horror treat. In reality it was slow, muddled (quick shots, suddenly changing into something completely different, and one did not know what was real, what was a dream or a hallucination or what), weird, unpleasant and totally pointless.
To begin with there were no good scares at all. I think it was even wrong to put this film in the "horror" category. Possibly it could have some interest, as a portrayal of life as a single mum to an only child with behavioral problems. Many people today can relate to THAT part. But in that case the supernatural element (or whatever it was) should not have been there at all. In my experience, it almost never works out well to try to combine something supernatural with something more actual, current or serious, such as social realism.
