nothing 'chilling' about this premise

Rating: 3/10 (8 May 2016)

I was waiting for this one.
I had heard so many rave reviews about it and really was looking forward to something fresh and new. However, the premise that is there in the synopsis(so no spoiler) about the family turning on each other is the oldest tale in the book! There is nothing 'chilling' or unexpected about it. In fact, it would have been more surprising had the family banded together to fight the 'evil'. It would also have give the story some much needed action!
Now, I am not a lover of pure action gore only. I understand and enjoy the slow burn that leaves a lot of questions unanswered. This tale, though, doesn't have any questions, nor does it burn - at all.
It is, however, shot quite beautifully. There are some jump scares and some unsettling gore (unsettling I say - for the uninitiated). The end is predictable and boring.
Disappointed! :(
