I love the occasional Horror film, especially those that have some decent writing, not just all blood and gore. Is that what we have here? The film is about two kids being sent away to visit with their grandparents for a week giving their mom a much-needed break. The mom, played by Kathryn Hahn who I recognized from the canceled after one season series Happyish on Showtime. As it turns out the grandparents seem nice enough at first but are actually quite creepy especially during the nighttime hours. There is a major twist near the end of the film that you must suspend your disbelief for. Spoilers… I mean really, you sent your kids off to live for a week with two complete strangers who are acting like your grandparents? I guess it could have happened if they stepped in at just the right time. Wouldn’t the kids have known? This was sort of explained by the writing in that Mom had not been in contact with her parents for years. Overall I was quite amused by this film, but I was not jumping up and down over it.
