Awesome Movie

Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.

There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.

This movie started out nicely, building the dysfunctional relationship between the mother and daughter and setting them on a tense road trip. Once they have the accident is where things progressively get worse leading up to a crescendo of eyepopping overacting and face mugging. That little girl can bawl as much as and as well as any colicky newborn I have ever seen. It was just overdone. I understand what they were trying to do with the story, but too much can ruin a good thing. So, it's not the worst movie I've ever watched, by far, so I feel safe recommending to someone who is in a mood to tolerate a little BS with their scares. BTW, the monster was cheesy.

Extremadamente larga. Con escenas innecesarias y muy aburridas. Pretenciosamente intelectual

Pros: None Cons: The writing: Infantile writing by typical hollywood children. The child is the adult and the adult is the child. Pace: Why don't we just dddddrrrraaaaggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggg everything out to the 1,000,000 degree since we've got nothing of value to say. Flashbacks? In a horror flick? This was just plain stupid. stupid. stupid. Added nothing to this dumb effort. This writer is not capable of doing a decent flashback in the best of times.Hey but if you want to waste 91 minutes, go for it.

I respect where Bryan Bertino was trying to go with this film, but he falls short. While he does gets a decent start on character development that mostly works despite some overwrought writing and acting, the static set piece and drawn out end battle bleed away any real tension. Flashbacks are overused and ultimately come too late and the well shot and creepy final locations overstay their welcome. Few films are able to pull off this Babadook-esque having your cake and eating it too morality monster mash, and despite a good college try, the Monster fails along with all the others.
