About this movie

In this terrifying thriller, twin boys play a dangerous game of make-believe that blurs the line between nightmare and reality as they start to doubt whether their mother, recovering from cosmetic surgery, is really who she says she is.

Ratings and reviews

Slow, boring and just a crappy movie. I sat there waiting for things to get exciting well SPOILER ALERT noting happens. Some young boys try to hurt their mom\whatever she is and it just never went anywhere. No character development, no real story that I could see other then two mentally ill children hurting "mommy". I'd pass on this one if I were you.

For those of you who complain about it not being a horror movie let me tell you why you're wrong. For all the horror movie freaks like myself I'm tired seeing the same stories rewritten. Same monsters & nightmares have haunted minds for centuries. The Visit scored 3.7 here, They Look Like People 3.8. They all deserve 5. These are the true nightmares we should fear. The ones right in front of us each one of us could TRULY fall victim to. If you're into real nightmares, here you have them! I suggest all 3. 👏

The plot, while simple, definitely carried you through the very end. I enjoyed it. While one can figure out what is happening early on, the ending really is up to interpretation--I think. The cinematic atmosphere of it all drives it and makes for a pleasant visual experience. For some, it can have some moments of pushing the envelope, but I felt it was no SAW film. Great depth and nice camera work. Gritty, beautifully directed and great acting from the main characters. Refreshing to the horror genre.
