7/10
Surprisingly Enjoyable

I didn't have much expectation for the movie as I had never heard of it when I watched it. I'm glad I didn't, as I was able just to watch and enjoy it for what it is: a low budget psychological thriller set mostly between 2 rooms and a few characters.

The main character is a 9 year old with an immense intellect and seemingly detachment from what it is to be human. Savannah Liles is nothing short of brilliant in her portrayal and carries a lot of the film.

The supernatural aspect isn't really explained further but that lends itself to the gritty view of the movie that it's essentially about the human relationships and connection.

Overall, I would recommend checking it out if you appreciate independent movie making and straight acting rather than special effects and taglines.
