4/10
A pretty much disturbing lullaby

Warning: Spoilers
There will be some spoilers here!

This movie let me with a bitter taste, and not because it was a good film. Honestly, I rated this 4/10 because I liked the atmosphere and the acting. But, and it is a BIG "But", I was not surprised and I didn't liked the script..

First of all, after the beginning, after the child birth, I knew where it will go. and what was all the "issue" about Liam's father.

The lead actress was awesome and very much believable. Seriously was a great work for her. And then again, I couldn't like the film. I felt the same with "Contracted". Why always made a raped girl/woman be guilty of the act? Because this is what I felt on this movie.

SPOILERS HERE! Poor Chloe was obviously, since we see her delivering the baby, a rape victim. And that is obvius because the first scene before the credits. And we see her the whole movie suffering the borden, keeping the secret. Even her "male friend" told her (before abusing her) "You let some one else have you first" What the heck is wrong with the person who wrote the script? END OF SPOILERS

Movie have good building up on the drama, and on the supernatural thing, atmosphere was creepy and kind of scary some times. It is good, but not for this script.

I don't want see anything again from this crew, but I will take a look on the lead actress in others films.

4/10 The good: creepy atmosphere and good mystery/drama build up. The lead actress was awesome.

The bad: all the rest of the movie.

Watch at your own risk.
