All this came to a head in one afternoon when Noval was attacked by Brian with the meat cleaver, however, in the ensuing resist; Brian had a heart attack then immediately dies.

Seeing a hidden photo album of their family, Norval saw the photo of his real father and then realized that the deceased man now is not his real father at all.

Writer’s Notion

The movie was really a very funny movie to watch. Elijah Wood did a great job in selling his acting as the privilege adult. It did an excellent work, grasping the attention during the first act, although it seems to gradual in the second. A third act that has successfully ramped the back up and it is where the film shines as an over the top goriest it is. There had been some suspenseful scenes which may keep you glued and invested to the screen, plus there are some few interactions in between the characters where they will provide you some of the laughs to ease its tension with the rest of you watching the movie. This is a really fun movie to see and definitely a good one to recommend.
