He can go from quirk to creep with an ease unparalleled by any of his peers working in films today. He is always superb in his every role no matter how small or seemingly insignificant. A highlight here as well is the fantastic David Dastmalchian. If you're expecting that, and you may not be, you'll be disappointed. As a matter of fact, there is a bit of confusion, at least there was for me, in the opening scene of this movie and to whom that incident relates to. This family endures a horrible tragedy at the onset of this film, but it is never shown, and only spoken of. ![]() And while I'm comparing actors, Messina also reminded me of Dermot Mulroney in this most recent performance. Sophie Thatcher as the big sister really holds the film together and here reminds me so much of Anya Taylor-Joy. His performance from Julie & Julia still looms large (can't believe I'm admitting this and in print!) Chris Messina does a decent job as the patriarch. The actors all do a decent job with the parts they are given. This one here though does have a decent soundtrack with the likes of Beck and Elvis Presley, so there is that. Even the ones where my eyeballs get a tremendous workout from rolling so much during the course of the movie. So why did I rate this as highly as a six, you might ask? Because I love horror movies. ![]() The fact that Stephen King's name is attached to this project has little to no significance. This movie will remind you of countless others that you've seen for the last twenty or so years. This is, yet again, your very typical 21st Century Horror Theatrical Release. ![]()
