This movie had an interesting premise, but save for one segment near the end and the end itself, it's a laundry list of horror movie cliches done in a predictable and often times forced manner. It's hard to hate this movie, but it's also hardThis movie had an interesting premise, but save for one segment near the end and the end itself, it's a laundry list of horror movie cliches done in a predictable and often times forced manner. It's hard to hate this movie, but it's also hard to say much good about it. I like the fact that the main character has autism that actually plays a part in his character development, I like the resolution between him and his bully (even though this is the 1000th movie we've seen where the kids have to have a bully) and I like the ending. But on the other hand this movie makes me want to bang my head on a wall with it's hamfistedly contrived plot points and collection of tiring tropes. Kid with no friends? Check. Bullies picking on kid? Check. Parents fighting? Check. Parent(s) so hopeless out of touch with any form of brain power that they further drive their lonely child away by blaming them in extremely contrived circumstances? Checkaroony.

By the time you reach the ending, it feels almost undeserved , as the emotional build up is often just boring. And the ending has been done before much better years ago, by movies like Dark Water and the like. So even the best part of the movie isn't even original.
