My expectations for this movie were pretty high, becuase of actors, Stellan Skarsgård, Diane Lane and Bruce Dern(father of Laura Dern) My expectations, where really liven up to, Very stylish direction, the photography is superb, the music very effective and Skarsgård proves to be one of Hollywoods finest, he gives an Oscar worthy performance, as the stepfather of the 2 kids, played by the great Leelee Sobieski,Trevor Morgan. the psycological atrocities is very engaging in this movie, okey some scenes may be a little predictable, but overall ít´s a real thrill ride.
