Tayloriona Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.

Humaira Grant It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

Aneesa Wardle The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

darksyde-63508 Poor Naomi Watts. She did and gave everything she could to this movie, but it still came out a steaming turd. This genuinely wants to be a good, tight horror movie that delivers the scares, but its all just so lame and fake, it falls flat on its face and can't be redeemed. What little suspense it does have is ruined by horribly attempted jump scares. This is one movie that should have stayed shut in someones imagination.

Robert J. Maxwell It's a shame, really. First, Naomi Watts is no longer the radiant golden girl of ten or so years ago. Age has reduced her to the status of a mere beautiful woman whom any normal man would love to smother in hot kisses.That's unimportant. What's really worrisome is that she's playing in dud like "Shut Ins." She is a widower living in a house in rural Maine, making a living as a counselor in the distant town, spending all of her time at home tending her brain damaged and vegetablized teen-aged son, changing his diapers, spoon feeding him, wheeling his apparently senseless body around.But one of those big Northeastern snow storms is about to blow in, likely cutting off all power and buying everything. She stacks up on comestibles and lanterns and is visited by a genuinely nice guy, single, whom she's met at the clinic, and whose son is also challenged. He's so sociable and helpful that she feels compelled to invite him to dinner. Clearly he's interested but she's polite and distant.The snow has barely begun, or maybe it's already stopped, and she's having nightmarish fantasies, or maybe they were dreams, of her son moving around the house deftly on his own, and then -- and then -- she wakes up to find herself tied naked in the bathtub by her now thoroughly mobile but maniacal boy and she forces her to take sleeping pills and then, and then, she struggles to free herself of her binding lines and then, and then, she swallows a bottle of SHAMPOO to bring up the gag reflex and rid her nude body of those wicked pills, and then -- and then -- well, I just couldn't go on.No, the tension was too great. My heart raced alarmingly as I waited for the next cliché -- the hand reaching in from offscreen, the cat shattering the Mason jar, the mysterious creaking of an opening door, the need to creep down the stairs into the dark basement, the WHAM on the sound track with each new shock.No. It was all too much. I can't remember if I shut it off before I fell asleep.

gradyharp A worn out idea for a thriller and a poor script (Christina Hodson) to translate the tired idea to the screen may have survived as a B movie, but director Farren Blackburn has a clue as to how to make it convincing. If the film is free on TV you may want to use it as background noise for 91 minutes while texting friends or gaming, but otherwise this is a 'pass'. The film opens in New England with Mary (Naomi Watts), a child psychologist working from home, bidding farewell to her 18-year-old stepson Stephen (Charlie Heaton). His father, Richard (Peter Outerbridge), is taking him to a special school for the summer. Stephen is very angry. On the way, he and his father get into an argument and Richard reminds him that he wasn't the one who got expelled. The car goes out of control and skids into the path of an oncoming truck, killing Richard and leaving Stephen paralyzed from the neck down. Some time later we find Mary, widowed, left to care for Stephen's every need. Caught in a deadly winter storm, she must find a way to rescue a young boy Tom before he disappears forever. And this opens the door to 'ghosts' Mary suffers – only to discover the truth about Stephen and Tom through the inept advice of her psychologist friend Dr. Wilson (Oliver Platt). These fragments (and plenty of other non- contributory ones) are tossed together and out comes a silly attempt at a horror film that even quality actors like Watts and Platt cannot salvage. Pass.

mg3331 I watched this on Netflix just today and I think it was worth my time watching it. Niomi Watts was great as always and also a good performance from Charlie Heaton of Stranger Things fame as the teen son who is confined to a wheelchair and in need of constant care from his mother following a road accident. We learn towards the end that he is not really disabled, it was all a ruse although I don't see how he could fake it for six months after expert medical examination. A tense and suspenseful movie but with more then a few holes in the plot.
