For your typical B-movie thriller, this was fine. All the usual tropes are accounted for- wealthy family with uptight Dad, (sickly) older sis, precocious younger bro, & artsy Mom who decided they need a ginormous mansion to live in (I find it hilarious Mom gets upset when she calls out for the kids and no one answers... either get a tracking device or a smaller house then). The plot twist wasn't uninteresting, but instead of expanding on that, it ended up all kinds of schmaltzy. I honestly only wrote a review because the ending song literally made me snort- the lyrics are almost as hilariously bad as the singing, made even worse when it turns out to be the main character (Mom) at fault. I think the director or producer must be the husband (same last name). I immediately got the impression this dynamic duo are #believers and want to promote awareness of our brethren in the stars. 4 stars for the unintended giggles at the end.
