Rhoda Penmark (The Bad Seed) has nothing on this little monster. The problem is, though, that there's no foundation in reality for this allegory, if it's not merely directorial masturbation to turn yet another buck in today's Horror market. Anything goes these days, whether it makes sense or not. This one, like the unicorn book Stephanie reads, makes no sense. Was that the point of the film? To make no sense? Or are we to believe that children all over the world are now doors for unseen demonic entities who possess them and plan, though them, to destroy the planet from inside the family structure. See how confused I am? Look. Avoid this one unless you like dark rooms, dead bodies, Slasher scenes, jump scares, and watching people step on broken glass jars and slice their feet wide open. I give this one a three only for the little girl's acting, which was close to perfect. Check out Blum's The Keeping Hours if you want one of his films that actually makes sense and, well, is a keeper.

I wasn't expecting much since this movie wasn't on my radar. I also didn't bother with checking the movie review before I watched it which turned out to be a good idea.I went in with no distractions and was drawn into the story and atmosphere. The start of the movie does drag on a little and you start questioning things, but once you reach that turn, everything starts to make sense.I like that the origins still have a bit of mystery to it for a possible follow-up or to carry the origin story.

Just saw this and was soooo happily surprised.
The atmosphere is really great and it really gives the idea of what a little girl would do during some kind of apocalypse without her parents around.
It is a horror movie, but seeing it from the point of view of a kid makes it even worse as while she is smart she is just not an adult. Loved it.
it did surprise me and I truly enjoyed it.
That little girl is a wonderful actress.

This film failed to deliver as a whole but there are aspects of this movie that showed great promise. The acting was above par along with cinematography and special effects but the storyline and sequences unfold so slow I mean the little girl is basically alone and talking to herself for the first half of the movie. We get a lot of character study but not much character building. It's not a scary film as hard as it tries everything just comes across as imaginary. Way to many scenes that weren't needed. I would have to say this film isn't something worth watching.. I give it a POOR MOVIE RATING.
