À propos de ce film

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.

Notes et avis

I pretty much knew what was happening 15 minutes in. As for pacing, there is a fine line between slowly building suspense and complete boredom, and this movie crosses it. Those failures are compounded by the plot's lack of logical consistency. Smart and stylish is one thing; unbelievable is another. It had a few interesting moments, but it was largely derivative and completely predictable. I should have waited for Netflix.

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.

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.
