This is How Movies Should Be Made

Self-important, over-dramatic, uninspired.

Watch something else. There are very few redeeming qualities to this film.

When an elderly Vietnam vet, George, begins suffering from dementia, his estranged family hire a live in nurse to take care of him. However the nurse harbors a sinister secret and has an agenda for agreeing to take care of the man.The story kept me engaged the whole way through and was all around good. The ending was easily predicted but I don't feel like it was meant to be a big mystery and the story doesn't suffer at all from you knowing it. There was one element to the ending that I didn't see coming and was surprised they went that way (in a good way).The acting is the highlight of the film for me. George Lockhart and Kristina Klebe's roles notably. Lockhart plays the role of a dementia suffering veteran convincingly and switched between the characters various emotions expertly. Between this and her role in PROXY (2013), Klebe has proved that she can play bad ass women with streaks of madness to a T. Hassie Harrison and Peter Cilella do well with their roles as the distant family members and then you have the always excellent, Richard Riehle, as George's friend.I did feel like thinks kind of wrapped up a bit too early once things get revealed and it could have used a bit more expanding on that angle. All in all though I dug it and it's definitely worth a watch.

I really enjoyed this movie. The flow of the movie kept you interested and the characters were really easy to relate to. You feel for the family and everything they are going through. I really enjoyed the flashback scenes and how the camera portrayed George having an episode. The story kept me intrigued up until the very end. George was very convincing as someone going through dementia and having a tough time expressing what was going on in his head. Michelle which is played by Kristina Klebe done an amazing job as the nurse. At the beginning I was skeptical of her intentions but found myself encouraging her actions by the end. During the movie you really aren't sure who's good or bad. There aren't a lot of recent horror movies who bring to the table what this film did. A disturbing look into the eyes of revenge and regret.

Spoilers ahead.I must agree with the other two reviewers. The revenge flick is extremely predictable from the start and generally gives you a TV- movie vibe. The acting was okay, but the ending was underwhelming as was the lack of character development for Michelle. No background story whatsoever. Her lead was basically a freaking tattoo on Jones' hand. How did she find him from that tattoo? From an obscure newspaper clipping in her motel room? Her character is basically: here's an unhinged woman who witnessed her mother's murder when she was young; she hates dolls and cats. Oh, and she kills.And what was the sound editor thinking? You can barely hear what Jones is saying during the struggle between him and Michelle. The music was far too loud.

I wish I could talk to the writer and director. Why would you have the music so loud at the ending during exciting parts to the point you cannot hear the actors . The dialog is being washed out by ridiculous music. (2) what in the world is the little girl doing? what was she ditching school? nobody knew she was home?? she's 6?? where did she come from? it makes no sense what she just appeared Then disappeared after? ,no cop investigation ? no questioning? trust I love movies I get suspense I get not adding certain things but really??? unreal story could of been decent it was killed by the little girl that I guess just appeared
