Great little movie from down over. This New Zealand film is about a family, new to a community, having just overcome their own tragedy, and meeting a parasite out to suck the lifeforce from the little brother and straight-up possess and use anyone else for his own means of living forever. Theres no overblown and outlandish battle scenes with all sorts of scare tactics and things being thrown about and destroyed during confrontations between the main characters. No, its a smart, simple, subtle, low-key, straight to the point, progression with no side track sub plots to district your focus away from the main plot about a man, with a supernatural ability and force, that only one girl can stop, but will it be in time to save her little brother. Maybe with help from another family and finding herself from within she can changover and become who she needs to be to defeat the evil element. This is a very smart, fast paced film, straight to point, no dilly dallying about and very little time for subplots although the themes of family and freindship and love and trust and kindness shines througout. The actors worked with a surprisingly good script which kept this film safely inside the lines, the location was fitting and realistic, the directing and special effects made it believable, and for a so called low budget film the cast was mostly A listers and they all did a great job. The simplicity of the film is what made it work. This film genre can be hit or miss but this one was dead on. Well worth the watch.
