This would have been a decent family drama, (with a little bit of the supernatural thrown in if they wanted to keep the rescue scene with the coin), if they had left out the so-called horror part of the film. I found the "horror" laughable, and each time that part of the movie was presented, just rolled my eyes.
I enjoy watching both Wyatt Russell and Kerry Condon in other films, and thought, that even though this one had such a low rating on IMDb, the rating wasn't so low, that I wouldn't give it a shot. It wasn't a complete waste of a little over 90 minutes, and again, the family drama part of the film was mildly interesting to watch play out. If only that was the crux of the plot.
Would the son be bullied at the new school? How would the former sports star dad deal with it? Would the daughter wind up losing her "virtue" to be one of the popular crowd? Would the dad cheat and the marriage implode now that he wasn't in the limelight? Oh well, I guess it would have been too much like an after school special, instead of a lame attempt at a horror movie.
