What they were going for in this film is great but the execution just doesn't hit the mark at times. Still worth your time.
Straight up black mold and mental illness
This move was more sad than scary. This was about aging and children becoming the caretaker of a parent. There were too many plot holes for me. What happened to the grandpa? What was up with the creepy cabin? Did the window from the cabin have anything to do with what was happening to the old woman? Why did she turn at the end? Was it all just symbolism? I didn't like this movie, but the acting was good so I gave it 2 skulls.
slow burn about aging and dying
Words cannot describe how much I enjoyed this movie. Will definitely be watching again.
