My wife and I found this movie dull, interesting and lacking any real spark. The first 3rd of the movie was okay, the middle 1/3 was totally boring and the final 1/3 a bit more interesting. The movie really seemed to drag for a while in the middle as so many movies do, they take what should be a 50-minute script and try to make a movie out of it. The acting in this movie is good, but they simply can't save what isn't there to begin with. There simply isn't enough character development or interesting moments in the story to make this a good film. At no point do we see the back story of why the couple became estranged or what led their son to go on a killing spree. I guess due to this being a low budget film or 1st time director there is no variation in the film and it is flat throughout. A very reserved film style that lacks anything fresh or original. I'd love to see someone write a movie on this subject again, only this time do it the right way.
