"The film works its tired conceit with maximum patience and minimal inventiveness." - Nick Schager

So you have a mentally unstable mother harboring a dark secret, a work-obsessed father who turns a blind eye to the dysfunction in his family, the older brother who can't wait to get out, and the younger sister who is an emotionally-scarred, glorified emo kid sociopath who goes by the name "BlackBird" (or, as I affectionately dubbed her while watching, "RavenClaw", while making multiple World of Warcraft jokes). Then this calm-ass Southern dude rolls up and 86's the whole lot. Standard but okay.

The acting is okay most of the time, but sometimes poor. This movie suffers from awful 'movie logic.' You know the kind... characters doing stupid shit just to make it 'scarier.' I understand a lot of horrors have this, but TBH relies too much on it. However, I think the villain guy was pretty decent, and the interesting idea of the girl being kind of the 'real' villain was nice. It had a decent atmosphere, some nice claustrophobia since it all takes place mostly in the house.
