..until I'm not saying the plot. After that it's much too much to be credible but it is still fun for the joke and intriguing how they will end it. I was not feeling sleepy the whole time, which is good this week.
Poor Naomi Watts. She did and gave everything she could to this movie, but it still came out a steaming turd. This genuinely wants to be a good, tight horror movie that delivers the scares, but its all just so lame and fake, it falls flat on its face and can't be redeemed. What little suspense it does have is ruined by horribly attempted jump scares. This is one movie that should have stayed shut in someones imagination.
I watched this on Netflix just today and I think it was worth my time watching it. Niomi Watts was great as always and also a good performance from Charlie Heaton of Stranger Things fame as the teen son who is confined to a wheelchair and in need of constant care from his mother following a road accident. We learn towards the end that he is not really disabled, it was all a ruse although I don't see how he could fake it for six months after expert medical examination. A tense and suspenseful movie but with more then a few holes in the plot.
What a clunker!!! Remember the first 5 minutes of Dumb and Dumber 2, where Jim Carrey faked being comatose for 20 years as a practical joke, then jumped up and said "Gotcha!"??? These clowns tried to make a suspenseful horror flick out of the same premise, and it just didn't work. Pass this one by, folks - just pass it by.
