I have seen a lot of negative reviews about this movie. I will say this, take it upon yourself to actually watch the film and take it all in.
I will say this. This movie IS YOUR TYPICAL HOME INVASION MOVIE. Nothing special about it that stands out. EXCEPT FOR THE KILLERS, and i'll get to that.
It starts out with trying to get you to enjoy the characters and try to attach yourselves to them. You see a dysfunctional family trying to make it work. You grow to think the son is a little "A" hole. Which is the directors intention. As the saying goes: "If you dislike a character because of their role and how they act with the intentions of being that person, then the actor did his job". The acting was nothing less of great. Katherine Isabelle did a fantastic job. Her role was believable. Believable to the extent of, people can do the dumbest things in horror movies. And not to mention in real life. Usually the first thing that comes to mind when people are watching horror movies: "Why didn't you do that. Oh my god you are so stupid". I am an active duty soldier that has been through "stress training". When you are stressed, it is not easy at all to think and act normal.Back to my point. She did a fantastic job and shows that she cares for her step son no matter what.
Now on to the killers. The killers were very creepy. The masks did not make them creepy. It was their movements. Especially the pig. The pig seemed like the old Michael Myers in Halloween. The creepy walk. The slow walk that no matter how slow he walked, he would get to you no matter what. Its the "Run as fast as you want walk. I'll take my time and enjoy the moment". The pig also had the head tilt down as well. Kind of like it was "admiring" its work. Proud to be a serial killer and look what i just did. Anybody can carry a gun and run. It seems to be much scarier to run as fast as you want and the killer is still behind you walking slow like you are not going to be able to run away.
There are some down falls to this movie. Don't expect a twist at the end. Well its a very small one, but if you pay attention to all of the movie 60% of people will be able to guess it.
The movie leaves you with questions unanswered and it can be frustrating. However, it is worth a watch. Just don't expect it to be a very good horror movie. Its okay and could have been executed a bit differently.
