This movie was better than I expected. It builds up an eerie atmosphere throughout the film which I liked. The jump scares and horror were well done. The dream sequence with the mother coming running down the corridor was very uncomfortable and well done. I also liked the story and the characters and the movie kept me interested and kept me wondering what was actually going on. The acting was also great.
Then we come to the ending... The ending was a bit of a disappointment. The movie was so good until the end. The ending felt a bit rushed. It's like someone else wrote the last 15 minutes of the movie. What were the bullies really thinking? Just walk into the house and hope the parents aren't home? They manage to capture Sarah (the monster) and she tells Peter that this cage will not stop her, she will lurk in every dark corner of the house, and the movie implies that Peter is still going to live in the house, alone, without his parents that he just killed? And yeah, what about the fact that Peter, 8 years old, just killed his parents, and he doesn't seem to care? And then the movie abruptly ends. No real closure, with way more questions than answers. Could have been so much better.
