I'm a bit confused by the overall low rating.
"Father of Flies" is creepy and unusual. Let's call it horror-noir with its monochrome tones and Hitchcockian camera angles. It also keeps you off balance because it seems to take place in an indeterminate 20th-century decade ... until you notice the smart phones. So that's discomfiting.
It has a sort of Jim Jarmusch meets M. Night Shyamalan vibe.
It's thick with menace and the acting is more than competent. (Kudos to young actor, Keaton Tetlo).
I liked it (translation: was creeped out) enough to give it eight stars.
Don't expect the usual jump scares and gore and you won't be disappointed. It's more about the vibe.
You'll feel dread.
