n my opinion it was a great movie with some interesting elements, even though having some plot holes and the ending probably was just too messy and crammed together, but still fun to watch and not your casual movie that is similar to all other ones.

This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.

Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

The movie really just wants to entertain people.

Ok so I really didn't have high hopes for this movie to begin with but thought that it would maybe actually surprise me. But you guessed it it didn't. You knew how everything went down from the start, no surprises and it was just very boring. I felt myself thinking about something entirely different and almost dozing off. The idea with the butterflies etc etc was good in a sense and could have worked out but it fell flat. At least to me. Also none of the characters were likeable. I felt like everyone was a bit off? I don't know they just came out very unnatural to me. So my conclusion for this movie is that it was rather boring and I felt like I wasted my time if I have to be completely honest. Obviously a lot of people disagree with me here since most reviews are positive. So if you're into movies with so-so plot and love to hear random rock music in almost every god damn scene and unrealistic conversation go a head, knock yourself out.

...and that's it. Heather Langenkamp is still a fantastic actress and I hope this is a comeback role for her. I just hope that her upcoming films aren't as horrible as this one. In a word, it was boring. The plot was confusing and hard to follow. It kept going back and forth from the past, even before that, and the future. It was like three short films with similar plots being spliced up and played over each other. The only other reason I wanted to see this was because of P.J. Soles (one of my favorite 80s actresses), and she only had about ten seconds (if that). It was a complete waste of time and I wish I'd had better luck with this pick.

I'm thrilled that I just happened upon this brilliant gem of a horror/thriller! Scrolling through YouTube looking for what new horror films would be coming out this year, and I just happened upon this movie's trailer. Being a very much hard core horror/thriller movie fan I was shocked that this movie's title has never crossed my path until today!Along with it being a very real piece of actual entertainment(which sadly these days is very hard to come by), it also had such an array of horror movie icons that made appearances throughout. Some of them being, Erica Leerhsen(The Texas Chainsaw Massacre), Heather Langenkamp(Nightmare on Elm Street), Adrienne King(Friday the 13th), Camille Keaton (I Spit on your Grave), PJ Soles(Halloween)...and I must quote one of the other reviewers opinion in my saying that I wholeheartedly agree that you just won't find a better psychotic & violent portrayal by a women that, can you believe, is seventy-five years old, in my speaking of the great Barbara Steele.Seriously wish that this little gem of a horror would have received more recognition, as it so deserved. I just wish I'd known of it long before now!

This movie begins with an interesting premise but it quickly disappoints due to the rocky acting from the supporting cast and the shoddy script. Barbara Steele is very effective as the unhinged central character, but her performance is not complemented by any of the other actors.The children are shrill and impertinent, failing to garner any of the audience's sympathies. The adults are utterly incompetent and react in bizarre, unrealistic ways to the way the plot unfolds. Not a single one of the characters, with the exception of the lead, is written like an actual human being.At one point a other in an elevator flies into an absurd rage when Ann, our main character, mistakes her for someone else. Another character is supposed to be around age 14, and definitely looks it, but dresses up like she's five.All well and good for entrancing old women, but do you really expect me to believe that the Shirley Temple shtick works on all of the other characters? Not a single one of them has a comment for the teenager who acts like she's three? There are so many stupid moments in this so-called mystery, a mystery that even an infant could unravel in five minutes, a mystery that only these rotten characters could become stuck in. This movie sucks!P.S - Some of these glowing reviews really lead me to believe that this page is being frequented by folks who are paid to review. Trust me when I say that it is virtually impossible to enjoy this film, unless you are practically brain dead and/or getting paid.
