We Go On

Seeing this with very low expectations, I was first waiting it to fall on its face but soon realised the writing, acting and direction was all sure-footed and I'd even say innovative. On the outset, Annette O'Toole and Clark Freeman make an unlikely mother-son couple but they sold their roles and even made me emotional at times.

The budget is indeed tiny, but it didn't take anything away from the solid creepiness. Build-up was executed well, and the story moved nicely from almost comedy to genuine scares. Even at the end this little horror surprise stood its ground and avoided the usual sour taste that most films in its genre leave behind.
