This was... perfectly fine. I don't feel like in any way we got an over arcing, well rounded, full story line. It felt like an isolated event with background establishing vignettes that didn't go much of anywhere. Also the story was pretty much just all around sad with not much else going for it.
The characters and the acting were also not my favorite. The little girls acting was passable but I don't know if the mother's quite got all the way there. Both the mother and the little girl character wise were pretty insufferable... I am aware that was the intention here but at what point does it become an unenjoyable viewing experience?
For me however, as a whole this did not edge on unenjoyable. There were plenty of redeeming qualities. The horror aspects here were pretty successful. Atmospheric, jump scares that were solid and not overused, tension building pacing and a decently scary monster.
This isn't going to blow your pants off, but it is a solid creature feature with drama aspects that is an easy watch. Would recommend.
