My opinion ---I do not have many resentments, nor understood the things that are in power to make this movie a good movie. I find that "Marina De Van" by trying on horror film, music, music, music, music and music. "Missy Keating" was considered an excellent in her role and happy, otherwise the film would have been a disaster. In conclusion little horror movie with some good effects, it's too just to make a good movie ...

The tale of Niamh (in the move it sounds as though they are saying Neve) and the sexual molestation and child abuse she deals with is chilling. This movie grips you from the very beginning. The actress who plays the abused child is well remembered and captures your attention completely. To see the physical abuse manifest into a psychic ability of self-defense is astounding. As Niamh flees from the death of her parents and baby brother, into the arms of another family, you see her protectiveness take shape. Albeit in an extremely violent fashion. As she learns what it is, and how to control it, Niamh faces what will be the biggest challenge of her life. Herself I highly recommend watching this movie. Beware, however, the director does not play to those who are sensitive.

I should have known when I figured out this was a foreign film that it was going to be a long, boring, drawn out, waste of time. The acting sucked. And whats with kids touching adults and adults touching children the way they did. That was way over the line. Talk about low budget. Who wrote this anyway? They should be beat with a stick. How did this manage to get 4.5 stars? This makes American B rated movies look like Oscar nominees. Give the story line to an American writer, so they can make it into a good suspenseful thriller. What was this a foreign Carrie? Nice try, but give up the career and do something you are good at.

This wasn't a *bad* movie, but it wasn't a great movie either. I've certainly watched bigger time sucks before. The atmosphere of the movie was great. Gray, gloomy, foreboding, etc... So I liked the tone of the movie, and I was able to get behind the characters of Nat, Lucas, the social worker and little Neve.Where the movie started to hedge into the 'meh' zone was when it tried to do too much. It tried to be a supernatural 'whodunit'. Was it an evil entity in the house? A spirit protecting little Neve? A poltergeist? 'Carrie'-esque telekinetic abilities? The movie kind of jumped all over the place with that.******** NOTE THAR BE SPOILERS PAST THIS POINT **********Clearly she figures out that *she* is the cause of all of the weirdness when she rescues her two classmates from their abusive mother. As to why they killed the other children? If you remember the garden party, the little girls were beating, stabbing, and otherwise being mean to their dollies. In Neve's mind, they were bad mommies, and in this movie, bad mommies and daddies come to a bad end.As far as the 180 at the end, if you recall, Nat and Lucas had a little girl who died from cancer. Neve doesn't believe the story. In her mind, the little girl died because her parents were bad to her and didn't love her. My question is this - did Neve and her two classmates die as well? I'm thinking not, because they just sat there smiling. Also, what the heck was up with the tears turning red?
