Monstrous

My wish is really simple - I would have preferred if the producers had decided to go for a simple horror movie. The "twist" of the story is no twist, because it is far to obvious right from the beginning. On the pro side there is solid acting (nice to watch Christina Ricci) and production. A missed opportunity.

Reading all the comments you will see so much of how the.twist is not origional or surprising. I knew where it was going as well, but I truly enjoyed the journey getting there. This movie is a beautiful look at mental health. The cinematography is outstanding. The camera showed you the hole in the story. Also the set and costumes were so beautifully done that it all added to the overall feeling of the work as a piece. Christinna Ricci absolutely did not fail to deliver. I will be watching this one again to see the things I missed. After that I'll probably watch it a dozen more times just to enjoy it. This is one I will be adding to my collection of films I watch repeatedly.

Really bad movie but at least the soundtrack, costumes and decor were nice. Not a drop of scary in this movie, more slow and boring than anything. Different style of cast for once. I appreciated the vacation from the same nonsense, they keep making. Kid actors used to be so great, wonder what happened? Now it's like they pick a random kid from a school and throw them in a movie.

Horrible review because people only compare it to others... Christina Ricci is brillant. This is a psychological thriller with a touch of horror.

A story with a touch of poetry. The idealized 50's with perfect mums doll look a like... Yet the reviews were superficial the movie isn't perfect but over the 4.6. For real viewers.

I don't know why this is so poorly rated on here. Probably teenagers expecting a slasher or something. I would say this is a very mild horror with a good story.

Anyway, for the adults, this is a good solid story where you are never quite sure where it will go

The acting is superb, and is the production.

One thing you might find odd is the constant references to Hotpoint - but this becomes clear in the end.

Well worth a watch.
