While I do like this movie as a whole, it stresses me the shit out. The Dad is a complete idiot the entire film. Like TOTAL DUMBASS. The poor kids in this, they can't catch a break. Trust me if this was going on around me I wouldn't remain silent. You do not let this stuff go on around you, and not do anything. Thank goodness the mom has a lick of sense... but OF COURSE her stupid husband doesn't believe her. Mistake #1 why aren't you on your wife's team?! At least hear her out. NOOOOO you're going to believe this freak of a weird ass "child" over your wife?! COME ON. Vera Farmiga is the saving grace of this movie, she's a wonderful actress. The rest of the acting is decent, Esther really does a great job at being a terrible evil little girl. Peter Saaragard does a fantastic job of being a total idiot. Decent horror movie... but will make you rant as I just did. This is maybe the second or third time I've seen it, so maybe I'm just now realizing these flaws. I'm forever creeped by Esther and forever pissed off at Peter Saarsgard. HOW DID YOU NOT NOTICE YOUR DAUGHTER'S HEARING AIDS WEREN'T ON THE NIGHTSTAND ANYMORE?! Idiot

6.9/10 Gets better and better the more ridiculous it gets. The ending really managed to breath life into the dullness of the first half. Excellent performances all around, even from the kids. Has all elements to be a really good movie, but it happens to be just ok. Probably worth watching, wasn't in flamboyant love with it. Really appreciated that it dared to go in such a twisted direction in the end.

I absolutely love this movie! Fantastic acting and amazing story line. I was on the edge of my seat the whole time. Very very well done, I recommend this movie to all my friends. It is very interesting movie/thriller, and the young girl does a great job. It is actually creepy!

First of all, lets start on the acting. The acting is great on all the actors, its pretty realistic and i rate it 10/10. In this movie the child was not an ordinary one, I could see that from the start, i could see that she was gonna change the family, but i never thought she was gonna change the family for bad. I was shocked, but it was cool. I also loved the Russian accent, i don't know if it was made or really from that country, but it was really cool. The racist effect is that Russians are kinda blamed for murder, craziness and insanity, which showed effects on that kid. For example when she found the gun, she wanted to play Russian Roulete with her stepsister. Another issue is the bad ending. She really dies, but i feel bad for the husband. The husband loved the girl, he was always nice to her, why would he die? What about the stepsister? Why did she try to kill her. Anyways, generally it is a very cool and realistic horror movie.
