Storyline
Did you know

The film also opened in July against Barbie and Oppenheimer despite having a distinctly Halloween atmosphere.
- GoofsAfter the teacher goes to Peter's house the first time, his mother confronts him in his room with his drawing and Peter has a bloody chin. This is before he is pushed over by the bully, which happens later on.
- Quotes
The Girl (Sarah): Peter, please, you're my brother, don't you see Peter, it's in our blood, you killed mom and dad, you're just like me.
Peter: No! I'm not like you.
Monster Sarah: Do you really gonna think this is gonna keep me down here? Every night... when you lie in bed... you'll wonder if you locked the door, or saw a shadow move. Every creak, every groan, every tap in the wall, you'll think of me. We're family Peter.
[pause]
Monster Sarah: I will always be with you. Always...
I'm not surprised, to be honest. This is a dark - very dark - movie, and other words you could use could be bleak and dreary and depressing. It's pretty much a childhood nightmare come to life. A boy lives in an old house with hermit-like and very weird parents, and leads a lonely and friendless life, where he is picked on mercilessly by bullies at school. And there is no hope or goodness or relief from the darkness whatsoever...
That said, its very good in creating an oppressively menacing and eerie atmosphere, and there are some good scares sprinkled throughout. Very good acting as well, and atmosphere for a horror movie. I don't like the big "reveal" though, and as always, think CGI effects tend to be weak, and not very well done at all, and detract rather than add to most movies. That said, its very well directed for a horror movie. But definitely not for everyone, with its artistic but nightmarish vision.
