For your typical B-movie thriller, this was fine. All the usual tropes are accounted for- wealthy family with uptight Dad, (sickly) older sis, precocious younger bro, & artsy Mom who decided they need a ginormous mansion to live in (I find it hilarious Mom gets upset when she calls out for the kids and no one answers... either get a tracking device or a smaller house then). The plot twist wasn't uninteresting, but instead of expanding on that, it ended up all kinds of schmaltzy. I honestly only wrote a review because the ending song literally made me snort- the lyrics are almost as hilariously bad as the singing, made even worse when it turns out to be the main character (Mom) at fault. I think the director or producer must be the husband (same last name). I immediately got the impression this dynamic duo are #believers and want to promote awareness of our brethren in the stars. 4 stars for the unintended giggles at the end.

Lifetime-esque Mystery
good idea, poor execution
There's no horror here. I'm not talking about gory stuff, there's no atmosphere, no scare, no feeling with this movie. I guess the script didn't help but neither did the music. I wonder if the ones in charge with the music ever saw the raw version of the movie because man, the sounds are so not ok with the scenes.
All in all, if there's nothing else to do, you could watch it. But don't expect any bonding with the characters or a feeling of some sort.
'Derivitive Dreck Is Right!'
Haha read the review titled 'Derivitive Dreck' That aptly sums up this sub par movie. It's just bad, really bad. But I did make it to the end, so I have to give it 2/10.
