Viewing Notes

Not a bad movie at all. Well acted, and the premise is great. My main problem is that the premise is unevenly applied and the film doesn’t seem to want to commit to this actually being a genre film. I do like the focus on the family and their issues, but even that isn’t really explored deeply enough to give it the emotional weight they were going for.

Picked this because I’d seen a few people mention it on Twitter recently and I was too lazy to get up and put a disc in!
