At this point in History, it is very obvious we are fascinated by psychopaths. American movies have shown them in ALL colours possible - we have handsome psychopaths(Dexter), female psychopaths(Gone Girl), sympathetic psychopaths(SOTL), hot psychopaths(Basic Instinct), psychopaths that love to be in the spotlight(The Following), psychopaths that want to save the world(Watchmen), bald psychopaths(Pitch Black), psychopaths that steal the show(The Dark Knight) and, last but not the least, child psychopaths in formation, one of which, the kid from this film. Pretty clever, it follows a young mother that sees ALL the signs of psychopathy in her teenage boy, and decides to do something about it before too late. Being a 'found footage' film of sorts, it's ALL about the recordings she does, so It might put the more traditional viewers off. Good acting and an interesting plot, above the 'found footage' average, does pay off, though.

When I see a low budget production(that shows) with clever directing and writing, excellent acting and a touch of "new", I feel like sharing my opinion, because certainly it was a nice surprise. I picked it up at local video rental thinking it to be a stinker, or an exploitation film of some kind. What a surprise. A supernatural thriller, and one that, budget considered, delivers.

It works as a religious version of The Hitcher - actually, it seems like it was written by 80s icon Eric Red.

Acting by the not so large cast is way above average, my compliments to all of them. The actor who played Joseph was quite effective, he surely deserves more chances in the big screen. The girl was beautiful, and could act as well. The guy who played the husband also delivers effectivelly.

In a way, the direction has got a touch of Katryn Bigalow in After Dark - the film is pure 80s and I will probably look for more films of this group.

Alternative cinema is not totally lost. It seems to have found its way, when we see films like those. Guys, you did a good job.

This movie is actually very bad

I saw this as a kid in Brazil, and I did like it. But I was about four years old... Today, all I can say is that it is a pile of crap.

The Tramps, who are the Brazilian Three Stooges, made some decent low budget comedies in the 70s and eighties. They used to be talented, in their own way. But sci-fi wasn't their cup of tea, obviously.

Im surprised that so many Americans posted comments on this film here on IMDb. I guess it happened cos this film somehow got into some of the "worst of all time" polls(fairly...).

All I can remember are endless fight scenes, slow motion scenes, terrible music, and un-funny jokes...
