This film, catalogued in the horror genre, has more suspenseful episodes than the previous one, but presents scenes and facts that undoubtedly cross the limit.
I am not a lover of this type of productions because most of them present inconsistency in the logic of their plots or cross the limits by presenting an altered reality that forgets small details that can be noticed without much effort.
A friend told me that you have to remove your brain to enjoy them and personally I got several of these flaws, the most important without a doubt the fact that in the place there is no cell phone signal but you can make video calls with the laptop.
The plot of the film revolves around a daughter who sends her children to spend a week with their grandparents in the house where she lived, located in a remote mountain village, so that they can get to know them and the place of their childhood.
They excitedly decide to record a documentary of this visit and everything goes as they thought it would until strange things happen and put the two children on alert, who with their curiosity activated begin to investigate and get a big surprise.
Olivia DeJonge, an Australian actress who years later would play the role of Priscilla Presley in the biographical and musical film called Elvis, plays the role of Rebecca Jamison, while Ed Oxenbould, also Australian, is her brother, while Peter McRobbie and Deanna Dunagan, play the grandparents Frederick and Marja, being for the latter her second film appearance, after a career of several years in theater and television and Kathryn Hahn plays the role of Doris, the mother of the children.
The film was directed by M. Night Shyamalan, who years earlier was nominated for an Oscar for the film The Sixth Sense, being also the screenwriter of the same and being part of the group of producers that completed Marc Bienstock and Jason Blum.
It was a low budget film, barely 5 million dollars released in September 2015 that had mixed ratings from critics and was nominated for the Razzie Awards as the worst of the year, however its box office gross was good, reaching almost 100 million.
For those who like the genre it meets the standards of the genre and will spend an hour and a half attentive to what will happen.
