    Sloooooooow

    I wasn't expecting too much and that is exactly what I got. Very slow, dull, and virtually no real scares or excitement. There are a few good shots and some decent acting but the story really drags it down and is really something better suited for a short story at best. Very artsy yet it lacks real nuance. Your time would be much better spent watching something else.

    Slow burn, but if you can get past that it's really good.

    It's a slow burn for sure, it takes a while for things to start getting weird, and creepy, but once they do it gets good fast. It took a little while for me to see the twist coming, which I really liked. It doesn't come out of no where either, there's small hints. I really liked the story, and thought the slow pace at the beginning paid off in the end.

    Because damn, it got REALLY creepy.

    The son in the story is very young, which adds to the creepy when things set it. And I liked how they managed to keep him chatty through the story, that must have been difficult with such a young child. I really thought it was a good film if you can get past how slow it is at the beginning.

    Incredibly interesting but VERY slow

    Personally, I thought the actors were spot on. The child was amazing (I always cringe when a small child is in a film). I have no idea how they got the child to act. It's VERY slow, but, it did keep me interested. I would consider this more of an Art House film. I gave it a 6. Would have given this a higher rating, the slowness brought it down.

    I just thought this was a delightful journey into what is called Indie!

    I was hooked from the start, the single mom and her little kid, (How they made that lil' kid do so much, say so much, run around, and hide from monsters and ghosts and evil Pet Semetary cats and on and on... ) Spectacular!

    It starts right with an anti-climax , in the mothers attempts at trying to rebuild her life and just be a mom to that poor child we are intermittently interlarded with dash of melancholia here and a little bits of fear here.

    I was pleasently surprised, to me, it seems like there perhaps is way more to the tale, yet the narrative is so artsy , due to the fact that the mother is constantly painting in the abstract and so it the narrative touches on that as she tries to figure out what is going on, it will give you a start here and there, but at the end even after the crisis moment, we are left with a sense that something good came out of all this , do we need to understand every single second of it, I don't know, I mean the tale at some point spills into the other regions, other realms man has posed questions and inquired since time immemorial, this was just a nice artistic tale that took us there, yes though beware of really spooky creepy middle-aged men with really nice silver locks! That's one thing I learnt from this movie! lol...

    I just didn't understand it.

    First off this movie is very slow moving but I stuck with it because I read reviews.

    If you are wondering if you should watch this movie do not make your decision based on my review. I just didn't understand it.

    Have to say the acting from the little boy just amazes me. He did things that no normal two year can do.

    I.
