Dad's Preview:
This film deals with the loss of a child, and its effect on a marriage.
The mood presented possesses a dread that is ever-present.
Through its characters, the young couple are slowly manipulated, finding only
clues to the next macabre discovery. Are these clues real? Or in
the minds of a person deep in grief? The audience know something looms
ahead, and we don't really want to see it. This film has one hell of an ending...
that you will never see
coming. |
