Narrative
An opening flashback scenario showed Rita takes Charlotte, the infant granddaughter into the woods, whereas Angela the baby’s mother protests. In the forest, Rita sits a baby over the ground and then lights the ring of the fire around her. Rita watched as a baby scream. At the present time, the teen Char dwells with her grandmother and mother, and also Aaron, her uncle. The household is a bit dysfunctional; Rita was in poor health, and Angela was depressed and spends most of the time in bed, plus, there’s nothing to eat in the house.
A girls’ Catholic HS was attended by Char. Although academically gifted, Char doesn’t fit in with any other students, who had been considering her the social inferior, and also she was subjected to bullying. And then one morning, steering Char to her school, Angela told her daughter that “I cannot do this anymore”. Angela’s auto was later discovered as abandoned, without any signs of Angela. The kin reported this fading to the police; however, they weren’t able to give much help. But, returned within a couple of days, oddly altered. The depression was gone, and she was cheerful, cooking dinner and dressing up for their family. Rita seemed suspicious of the changes with Angela and purposely upsets the soup in the pan that Angela prepared for them, so the family was obliged to consume the chips which Aaron had taken home instead. However, Angela appeared to have a bit appetite and sits gazing sullenly to her mother.
Char saw some instances of gradually bizarre attitude in the “latest” Angela and became frightened. Aaron, her uncle was stricken also with the mysterious illness that leads to him to be hospitalized. Meanwhile, Char was forging a kind of closeness with of her previous bullies, Suzanne. Char confided in Suzanne regarding the changes with Angela; in turn Suzanne told Char how her mom left her when she’s still young.
Writer’s Notion
The cover for this horror drama movie is admirable starting from the writer to the director. It can be said that, there is really nothing much to say about the movie and it being included in the horror movie category was enough for the viewers to sit on and watch it.
Sad to say, the movie’s cover had been only the best part it and the storyline of the movie was just boring and a bit slow paced, and the viewers will not really care about the events or the characters that transpired over the big screen. Visually the movie, did not offer anything worthwhile.
However, the acting performances had been adequate, in spite of the fact that their actors and actresses had dear little to deal with. For one horror movie to totally frighten the viewers, this one can be said that, it is totally short of entertaining their viewers. And this was not the movie that you can be found even at the very least pleasing.
