I started watching, expecting something like The Shining or The Omen. I expected paranormal or supernatural or even Dexter-ish. What I got was a post-partum mom, a detached dad and a creepy little kid. Couple that with bible-thumper grandma, recovering addict brother, never pleased granddad...and frankly, I'd be surprised if any kid in that house came out anything less than suicidal or psycho.
I turned the movie off 3 times I got so bored with it but after reading the reviews I came back to see the end. The creepiness finally ramps up about an 75 minutes into a 115 minute flick. The scene with the psychologist is so bizarre as to be comical. Dad's handling of the whole mess after wifey goes away defies that he could ever hold a position of responsibility in the business world that requires any critical thinking or finesse. Rockwell is actually pretty good in the role though. The writing is just awful. The plot is weak and poorly developed. The ending is odd but makes as much sense as the rest of the movie.
