Positive Aspects:
The film’s setting itself is quite terrifying and gloomy, which contributes to the film’s overall story.
Toni Collete and Kathy Bates are an excellent once and both of them are unforgettable in their roles.
Horror scenes included here are original and well, some would say, contrived, but in a good way, making the film unique in the genre.
Negative Aspects:
The pacing at times is a bit tough as the action is not necessarily about horror so one can say more about drama.
Some people might view the horror scenes as unsophisticated or all too much of typical genre conventions.
