There are plenty of great slow burn horror movies.

This is definitely not one of them.

I'll start with the good. Parents are clearly trying their best to carry the film, Dermot Mulroney and Leslie Bibb. The main actress is ok, which may be more of an indictment of the writing than the actress herself, since I thought she was good in Hellraiser. Practicals are good, but they use so many damn quick cuts they are normally wasted.

Everything else is pretty bad: we have the cinematography trope of "person is going crazy here's some quick cuts of blood", characters with odd motivations that don't make sense, subplots that are damn near irrelevant or exist to serve as red herrings.

By the end of the climax of the film I just couldn't care less what type of twist was coming.

This seemed like a pretty boiler plate slasher that tried and failed to be something more.

A little disappointed that there was not a resemblance to Lizzie or that they couldn't even use the outside of the actual Borden house to til at. I get maybe not being able to film inside but the house they use is not even close to what Lizzie's actual house looks like- not even the same color!! The actors will ok, a little random with the story line as they just needed to build a story. Also if we're being truly accurate even though the nursery rhyme states that she used an axe to kill her parents the actual murder weapon was a hatchet. Not a true scary movie to me more of a suspense thriller.

This is very much your average, run-of-the-mill horror/thriller story. There isn't too much to say about it honestly. It wasn't exceptional and it wasn't unentertaining... it just was...

I feel like it definitely could've been a bit less predictable and that would've helped it out some, also throw in a little more spookiness. It wasn't all that scary. Also, the twist was certainly nothing to write home about either. Again, none of these things were great but also not offensive.

The best part of this movie by far was the casting/acting. I don't think it would've achieved even the moderate success that it possessed without this cast and their performances, bravo. Would recommend, but very indifferently haha.
