She’s an awful mother who puts herself before her mute disabled kid…and I’m supposed to get behind her later in the movie when her & the boys life is in danger? I kept thinking that the kid would be better off with the killer, at least he might get to watch TV. This while his supposedly loving mother Skypes on her expensive laptop with some guy before kissing goodbye another who was upstairs! There’s a hilarious scene shortly afterwards where we see the mute kid trying to tune a radio in. So let me get this straight…she can’t afford the repayments the bank wanted but can afford an Internet connection (she’s using Skype so you know it’s broadband) and a bloody Mac laptop. The boy looks like he couldn’t care less & his mother tries to act like she’s upset about it before settling down to Skype with some guy on her Mac laptop. This is supposed to be an emotional scene as they do it while the boy is watching cartoons but here is the first problem that arises in the movie.

Just her TV mind, which looks like it cost peanuts. She is under pressure looking after her disabled son (who also may be mute…I don’t know, he never speaks throughout the movie) & this is emphasised as we see bailiffs from the bank arrive & claim her TV. Split into two stories that eventually come together, first we meet Kate, a single mother with some of the worst acting I’ve seen this year. At over an hour and a half this is a movie that will make you angry in between the many moments that just bore.Īt about the 30 minute mark, I had to stop the movie and ask…what the hell is going on? By the end I was still asking that! Actors so bad that I swear my brain was beginning to leak out of my ears, jump scares so infuriating that it made me want to commit violent acts to the person who came up with them. Marshall, the rest of the production team, the director (Edward Evers-Swindell), the actors, the script writers, the costume department, the fucking caterers…they all have to take some responsibility for this stinking pile of garbage.Ī plot so stupid that I had to pause it several times just to rant about how dumb the previous scene was. He’s had a few missteps too, The Descent sequel is one that jumps to mind…and now this.

If you don’t know Neil Marshall, he has a damn fine track record with movies like Dog Soldiers & The Descent under his belt.

I decided to watch this when I saw Neil Marshall’s name attached, only in a producer position mind you, but it was enough to interest me.
