Alcohol/Drugs/Smoking: One brief scene of smoking
Frightening/Intense Scenes: The whole film is tense from start to finish. The beginning is very creepy, scary and disturbing at the same time. While the film may be bloody, it is not excessive and relies more on sheer terror.
lot's of screaming and peril. There are some scenes of torture and only like one scene of gore.
The masks are very frightening throughout, especially when you realize it's from the stuffed animals of the child. The cult is also extremely sadistic and go to great lengths for what they want.
The ending is very disturbing
Story: Newlyweds Cory and Sarah Morgan take Cory's 7-year old son Liam up to the country for some much needed family time. When it appears as if Liam has run away, psychological suspense becomes straight-out horror, as Sarah and Cory must now confront a sadistic cult-like family who have been hiding in the house all along and have taken Liam for themselves.
Likes : This does has some promise with the creepy atmosphere & for most part intense, with some great acting, but this film has to much going wrong for it , the film Stars Horror icon Katherine Isabelle who takes on a new kind of role in this film as a step mother to a young buy that doesn't want to let her into his life because he doesn't want her replacing his mother. But when things takes a deadly turn in the film the three fight for their lives in this epic home invasion thrill ride of tension and chills.some might like this but i going to have to point out the bad parts.
Dislikes : The down fall of this film is the fact its try to copy different genres of horror like the stranger, wrong turn, your next, Texas chain saw massacre with a deranged family not to mention the thing that have been done before in other horrors like 1. deranged redneck family. 2. unsuspecting yuppies are stuck in a rural area with no cell phone reception. 3. decent actors wasted on a terrible script and poorly developed characters (although the kid was annoying). 4. long torture scenes where the victims are bound and gagged. 5. "BOOM!" jump scares whenever we see a shadow. 6. the heroine is pinned down by the villain but then finds a conveniently placed weapon nearby to defend herself with. 7. despite the fact that she's been through a physically trying ordeal through mud, blood, and grime, the heroine's hair, makeup, and nails are great. 8. the victims will knock the killer out but never make sure the killer is dead.all this is why this film is so predictable & generic instead of something new.
Overall : It ok for a horror could of been better, atmosphere & intense moments
Rating: 3.1 out of 5 for entertainment / 4.6 out of 10 for story-line / concept
