Good and creepy tone to the movie and great ending reveal. Very well done and great horror movie.

First of all, I have to say that Toni Colette is one hell of an actress, She was brilliant in this.

I was gripped by this movie, a slow burner , creepy , unnerving , and , for me , very disturbing. I was quite moved in parts , and in others I was terrified . A movie has not affected me like this one for some time, it stayed in my head afterwards. I highly recommend it .

Great cast , excellent performances , just a great movie !
