I loved this movie! Despite the reviews, and the fact that the concept is a familiar ad re-visited one, I found this movie enjoyable and worth watching. If yo are a fan of "The Bad Seed" and "The Good Son", you would definitely appreciate this movie.

The summary of the movie automatically made me prejudge on of the main characters in this movie as the psycho but as the characters' lives start to slowly unravel, it was no surprise as to who the villain was and how the fate of the others would turn out.

From the get go, before any turmoil begins, it is pretty predictable as to how everyone would either meet their doom or become unhinged. This is the only reason why I did not give this movie a 9. However, despite this minor predictability issue, this was a movie worth watching! I could watch it again!

Widowed mother and her family movie in with her brother in law and his salvage yard. They also take in a troubled foster child. Family secrets and other nastiness set in motion some not so pleasant events.

Well made but not particularly compelling story is the sort of thing that you've seen before. Both the bits and pieces and the central plot seem to have been recycled from other better films. My dislike for the film is neither the cast nor the craft of the film, rather its the plot which spins out in all sorts of directions in the hope of creating some reason to watch the proceedings. I really can't think of one, especially when odds are that you're going to be way ahead of the characters as to whats going on. Take a pass.

Everything about this movie oozes low quality and low budget. I have no clue what their budget was but it just shows that it must be pretty low. The cinematography is mediocre at best. The plot could have been interesting with more money and better actors. They made it so that you believe something specific will happen but it turns out different, but that's the good part of this movie. The suspense is very mild as it becomes quickly obvious what is really going on. The worst part is the acting of Melora Walters, if you can call that acting. I seriously wonder what she did to get this part in this movie. It's one of the rare occasions I had to witness an acting performance without any emotions. Every scene is that same monotone and annoying voice, like she's just reading her script without thinking about the plot or the scenes. You could watch her in a surprised scene, a dangerous scene, or a scary scene, every line is exactly the same tone without any emotion. To me it's a mystery how she became an actress. Just avoid this movie, it's really nothing new and a waste of time.
