HORROR FILM A DAY OCTOBER 2016

Boring, cliche-ridden nonsense that has a ridiculous twist that would be good if it was in the hands of a better director. Actually, no, it would still be ridiculous. The very end was a nice if weird touch, though. Anyway, the film is full of jump scares, including the trusty ol’ screeching cat scare. Twice. It’s rather lazy stuff, which is actually a shame as there IS a good idea in here somewhere. The majority of the cast are good but wasted, second billed Neal McDonough, especially is given practically nothing to do, turning up in only three scenes, briefly.

The housekeeper gets a scare and runs away, leaving the kid in the house with no warning which is exceptionally selfish. This happens fairly early on and is just a way to get her already pointless character out of the film. She doesn’t come back.
