I watched this last night and while the actors, cinematography and basic plot of the film was good, the script was totally unbelievable. It had the potential to be a good film, but it wasn't. The basic premise of a man losing his job and then killing his family is quite believable, as it happens in real life unfortunately far to often, but the reaction of the children to what is happening around them is not. They must have realised that their father had gone insane, and was going to kill them all. They had the opportunity to escape, and could have hit their father over the head with something after he had killed their mother, but do not. Also the girl had a hidden phone, and could have called the emergency services, but does not. The kids just carry on obeying their father after he did the most terrible things. Sorry, but this is not how people, especially teenagers, react in such a situation. Eventually they do defend themselves against their father, but it took far too long. Also, the girl pierces her fathers leg with a garden fork, and pins his leg to the ground. She then leaves him and he manages to take the garden fork out of his leg and run after her! And she a teenager and he in his forties, he manages to catch up with her! Completely unbelievable, as the man would have been in agony with probably either a bleeding artery in the leg or fractured leg.
