Rhoda Penmark (The Bad Seed) has nothing on this little monster. The problem is, though, that there's no foundation in reality for this allegory, if it's not merely directorial masturbation to turn yet another buck in today's Horror market. Anything goes these days, whether it makes sense or not. This one, like the unicorn book Stephanie reads, makes no sense. Was that the point of the film? To make no sense? Or are we to believe that children all over the world are now doors for unseen demonic entities who possess them and plan, though them, to destroy the planet from inside the family structure. See how confused I am? Look. Avoid this one unless you like dark rooms, dead bodies, Slasher scenes, jump scares, and watching people step on broken glass jars and slice their feet wide open. I give this one a three only for the little girl's acting, which was close to perfect. Check out Blum's The Keeping Hours if you want one of his films that actually makes sense and, well, is a keeper.

During some unexplained world wide pandemic, Stephanie (Shree Crooks) is home alone in desperate need of adult supervision. The opening kitchen scene was a parent's nightmare. We don't know what happened to her parents and her brother Paul is dead. Stephanie is haunted by a monster. We suspect what may be going on and clues start to come 30 minutes into the feature. Shree Crooks carried the film. I thought she did an excellent job in the role. Guide: No swearing or sex. Brief partial nudity (Anna Torv)

An orphaned young girl with unworldly powers is taken in by a man and woman who claim to be her parents. Stephanie might have an interesting premise and an alright Cast but it's so slow and the little girl doesn't do that much to keep me interested in her as a character and the whole sci-fi element was kinda dumb to be honest. This movie could have been great but it wastes both the plot as a film and the cast as a whole i'm afraid.
