What can I say about this film? It is truly unique in its depiction of grief as a creature that uses the face of others . Bending those affected at will to do whatever this creature summons.
The actors are all well grounded in their role in this film particularly Julia brown who had some difficult moments to perform in this film . She effortlessly convinces you to sympathise with her character's situation.
There are plenty of dark moments in this film but it is specifically horrific in its basis , imagine a loved one not talking to u from an ouija board or a ghostly form wailing. But clear as day face to face and yet you can feel something is not quite real about them .
This form being in fact a viscous malicious predator.
A physical manifestation of your grief and desire to see them once more now inescapable and hunting you .
Quite frankly I feel this movie will go on to have a small but cult following, it reminded me of heredity significantly in its development gradually becoming more disturbing psychologically rather than with silly quick jump scares like most films .
Put in short .
It's dark , disturbing and gripping and definitely deserves more attention.

Laura (Julia Brown) inherits a house in the middle of the woods from her late husband. Her young stepson Isaac refuses to talk to her. Her husband insisted on being buried with his previous wife on the property. They find an unusual wooden structure in the woods.
I like the isolation and the brooding moodiness. It starts with a good concept. There is good potential for a horror thriller. They could do more with the guardianship. They could also do more with the woods. If he gets lost in the woods overnight, the threat of losing guardianship could rise. In the end, the movie doesn't push beyond a few good ideas and the general spooky vibes.

Monster seemed cool, if you could see it. Acting not bad not great. Just a series of events with no story - the usual "deep" rubbish. I'm sure there's some grand overture about grief and relationships and etc etc. I can read a book written by professionals for deeper meanings of grief. If you can't translate those meanings into motion then you'd better have a good story - or apparently not a story at all as seems be the case with many films these days. AMBIGUITY IS NOT A STORY - A FILM IS NOT A MOVIE WITHOUT A STORY. It's just collections of thoughts. Everyone has thoughts big deal - tell a story! What a disappointing horror movie season. First Beezle now this. Lame lame lame.
What some have labelled a flaw I will call a feature.
The acting is tight. The sets beautiful.
The tone is menacing and the sense of dread is intriguing.
This is not apocalypse now or is it menat to be. For a horror it's great. The issue with any review is there is no qualifier to the type of movie the reviewer likes or the day they had when they watched it.
Many things are left unexplained. Many things that I enjoyed others felt frustrating. If you require all things explained and wrapped up in a bow this film is not for you. It doesn't make it bad just not your cup of tea. If you enjoy tone and setting and don't want to be bogged down by 60 minutes of boiler plate character development this is more for you.
I enjoyed the look feel and lack of pointless filler so many horror movies are bloated with. The filler is what some look for and enjoy along with a pablum-like exposition.
Good movie for some bad movie for others....

The film seems to set itself up in the first 2 acts to deliver some interesting history on the characters. It drops ambiguous tid bits relating to past trauma and connections between characters both dead and alive that pique the interest.
It then never eventuates to anything.
What is the connection between the father's work as an architect and the way the creature is presented? How are any of the characters related? Why should the viewer care about the fate of anyone when there is little semblance of character development? The creators of this film must have run out of time or budget because the script doesn't just feel ambiguous, it feels unfinished.
The cinematography is absolutely beautiful and creates tension and suspense which is utilised well with some creepy and scary moments. This would have been enough to salvage the film but for the ending that undoes the little character development seen previously. It instead opts for a nonsensical deus ex machina reminiscent of the ending that was re-shot for the British release of 'Invaders From Mars (1953)'

- WissenswertesThe original scripted title was "Daddy's Home." Producers altered it to avoid confusion with the Will Ferrel family comedy of the same name. Coincidently, both movies deal with alternate family dynamics.
