Well,let me tell you this film is watchable.Although there are many,many nonsense scenes (why does Naomi insist in going outside in the freezing porch and calling the boy by his name IF HE IS....DEAF ??? ) That's an incredible GOOF nobody has noticed yet but it is really nonsense.On the other side I didn't predict the final twist even I have seen many movies during my 56 years ...Well,I give a 6 / 10 because it was somehow interesting but absolutely annoying in some scenes.Regards from Argentina. (And I saw Naomi pretty thin in this film.I hope she is in good health)

This is one of those movies that initially messes with the viewer so much that you end up losing the will to invest.Cheap jump scares, visions and apparent dream sequences all thrown at you just makes for uninteresting viewing, there is very little by way of real substance.Just over half way through, the plot twist (which is obvious) reveals itself, and therefore the movie is subsequently typical cat and mouse shenanigans.Zzzzz

Dear God, this is dreadful, I've seen some boring horror films, some clichéd ones, and some illogical ones, but this really takes the biscuit. Really, where to begin? The atrocious dialogue that feels like it's been cobbled together after a first-year Psychology lesson? The cardboard characters who hold meaningless conversations that serve no purpose other than to take up time, the plot twist that is so preposterous it's not even funny, it's just stuff that creates a film that people will watch for money?Even at a barely film length of 87 minutes it still felt way too long. Aside from the dialogue between people who can only be described as characters because they're actors mouthing (terrible) lines in a film, at least half of the first act is meaningless jump 'scares' where nothing actually happens.If the first half's dreadful, it's still Silence of the Lambs compared to what can, charitably, be described as the denouement. Following a plot twist that can't really be described as such - it's just something that happens to turn a collection of words and pictures into a film - any remaining viewers are forced to sit through an interminable finale where every possible film cliché is thrown at you until it just becomes white noise, and an ending so ill-conceived, you wonder if the writer has ever interacted with another (or just a) human being. It's like Scream and all the other self-referential horror films never happened. It could have been made 30 years ago and it would still be as stale and unmemorable. I only bought it because it had two credible actors in Naomi Watts and Oliver Platt (why though?!?) and was on sale at Asda for £2.99 - and even then I feel robbed.I can't even say this is one of the worst films ever, it's just nothing, and even now it's beginning to fade from memory.

At first, it looked fine. Well initiated by giving out a proper reason to develop what comes later. But that later part was the biggest let down. It becomes so cliché and because of that I lost interest. Otherwise, it is could have been a decent one with all the good actors. Also the location was good, a perfect setting for the storyline. But not noticeable when the narration enters the second half, mainly because of thriller takes over.It is the story of a psychologist who recently lost her husband in a car crash, but ended up taking care of step-son after he became mentally and physically incapable. When the life was in the routine, suddenly something bad happens where her young patient goes missing. Following the event, she begins to experience what others won't believe her. But what comes later is more shocker, a twist in the tale takes us the conclusion.As the title and its genre suggest, it remained truth to that, but there is no innovation in storytelling. Most of the people would easily predict most of the parts if not the entire film. The casting was the advantage and they all were good, including the kid from 'Room' and Naomi. Even though it is rated very low everywhere, as well as by me, kind of entertaining, which means watchable till the end than cut it out in the middle. Not a film to recommend, but if you choose it to watch, I won't say don't.4/10
