"The soundscape was very delicate and allowed for us to listen intently without leading us too directly. Suspense holds a major card in this film and the moments that the camera leads us astray by angling in odd ways or staying with certain moments too long is really eerie. I enjoyed the acting and the relationship between mother and father felt very real. I did want a bit more "creatuer featue," in this one but as a horror film that incorperates dangerous beings, I give it high marks."
