You don't even have to have kids to understand what the main character is going through. You probably are aware what the inciting incident is, something happening very early on with his son. But what is it exactly? And could it have been prevented? And by whom could it have been prevented? Not to mention the question of what actually happened ... are there evil forces at work here? It's something that will keep you on the edge of your seat.

And it's really suspenseful, with quite a few twists and a few things happening along the way. And it's all because the viewer has to constantly guess what is going on. Very clever little thriller, that holds its tension until the end, especially if nobody spoiled the experience for you.

Those CREEPY KRAMPUS costumes Scared me, why would you let kids see that?? So many of them?? This was a decent movie, sad, and shows how neglect brings tragic consequences. You know something is off from the Mom's and Grandfathers behavior as well as others in that town, story concludes with a twist I did not see coming. A decent who-dun-what. Alot of behind the scenes trickery and lies going around which lead to even more consequences for everyone involved. Some plot holes, but Worth a 1 time watch.

This thriller may not be completely original, long lost and thought dead young son returns is he the same child, but kept me guessing. The added back stories of the other characters is a good secondary storyline which helps build the suspense. Add in the thoughts of local mythology and a small part of the supernatural and it is hard to predict how the film was going to play out.

Perhaps in the world of US dominated films where everything is accompanied with over the top explosions, plots and unrealistic endings this film is like a breath of fresh air. Do not be put off by he subtitles and the unknown cast are excellent.
