I was fooled about half-way through the film, and a bit confused. Without giving away the movie, the "parents" of this young boy have a captive and just decide to live with the individual as if nothing was the matter? I found this to be quite ridiculous. Furthermore, how did this boy even sleep at all as a child with this captive whispering to him, and the reality of the concept that the parents telling this child it is his imagination when he started hearing sounds in the walls would've only worked for a day, maybe two. These aspects of the film are way overlooked and over the top scenarios.
Later you will find out who this captive is, it tends to be an eye-roller. The entire story and overall concept seem to be quite lackluster and dull, deprived of any effort.
There was nothing wrong with the cast's overall performance. It wasn't Oscar movie acting, but it wasn't bad either. The camera work and scenes were done very well too. The whole problem was the unrealistic scenarios within the story, which made nothing in it plausible.
This review maybe quite stiff and blunt, but there was just something about this story that just didn't work for me at all.
5/10.
