Really, this is just a bad movie. Really it is. I don't care what the glowing reviews say. It isn't about redemption, father/daughter bonding, blah, blah, blah. Deep down in its movie fiber it is a bad movie. It is an angry dad, an angry dad lawyer, and angry dad whose daughter is Autistic and his "stupid" wife up and gets herself killed in a "stupid" car wreck and leaves HIM to have to DEAL WITH EVERYTHING!! In a angry manner, in an angry, rude manner for how ever minutes this just bad movie drags on. The whole movie is him being angry at everyone until all of a sudden some spirit mother, wife, indigo thingy shows up in the house, really cool house, that is angry too by the way because some evil man had an orphanage...oh never mind, you know the plot line. He becomes a nicer daddy but a meaner, passive aggressive daddy because mommy is now in control and she is going to...hell, I have no idea what he or dead back to life mommy are going to do to their poor daughter, something to make communicate? Be Normal? WT hell! Autism is serious and to play fast and loose with some "magnetic" treatment, spirit cure thing was really weird. The whole plot was all over the map, and we only have half the map. With no rest areas for a good walk about! Once I start a movie I generally see it through...boy I wish I had worked on the water-pic this time! 2 stars for decent acting, good cinematography and a few non-angry faces.
Plot summary
After the sudden death of his wife, a grieving father of a severely non-verbal autistic girl seeks experimental therapy where he unknowingly rents an Air B&B with a haunted history. This stirs his daughter's psychic abilities along with his personal demons. The result is a story full of suspense, tension, empathy and a powerful metaphor about the Noise in all of us.

Back Wash Your Water Pic, Take A Nap, Miss This One!
its not a 101...
Guide to treat an autistic person so beware and behold, and whos really the autistic individual. anyway its a slowburning a little on acid tubular bell-ending story about a father a daughter and a dead mother.the core caretaker was the mum, meaning caring for his vividly hyperactive child that haunts him like a purgatorial whirlwind, seeking help, if so from infinity itself. so magnetotherapy seems to be the last resort, will it help or not...?
its a slowburning horror thriller, where you wait and wait for something apocalyptic to happen, but it flames out time and again. autism isnt unknown to me, having some light spectrumers in the vicinity, and yes , they have ways to absorb things around that to us a-z sound and healthy never sees and never cares to think about as troublesome. ive had quite a few aha moments of children acting as brats due to unknown reasons, till years later when diagnose set, when one set of answer to the clue was given. it was the sounds, or more correctly the smatting sounds around the food table that made the kid snap for years, ending up never eating in the same room as the rest of the group. so auditorial boost happens. i could mention more and more over, but the stress is real believe me, and the numbers of misunderstandings was and is still vast and problematic to understand.
so i might say that many will reckon something from this film, but as a blockbuster it wont be acclaimed, and will render into oblivion after a while, at least in the filmatographic overstimulated grumpy old mans mind. the acting is pure average, the story and caracter building pretty shallow and extremely clueless, and what the main theme is , is hard to say. is it a horrorthriller or a psychothriller? have a look yourself, and eventually make a recommend yourself. cause i wont ...yet.
Ends Up Being Pretty
For some reason I really liked the intro to this one. The music set a nice ambience. Yeah weird but oh well. +1 Star for that!
There is good point about autistic kids given about a HALF hour in. 'Maybe it's not about fixing her, it's about accepting her.' I deal daily with a severe autistic and you always find yourself wishing that you could fix them. But the reality sadly is that that is not going to happen. +1 Star for the Tidbit
Okay now for some really dumb reason he takes his SEVERE autistic trick or treating??? That's just really stupid. -1 Star for that
As the movie progresses we need more into spirit bonding and the spirit world. The autistic kid has a dead mother spirit thing going on. All of that just seemed rather annoying and I thought the end was pretty lame so -3 Stars for all of that nonsense. 3/10
