*I was not invited to write this review so ahem... The uninvited review*The movie was frightening as well as interesting. Would a mentally unstable person really imagine so many things that she would kill four innocent people. The first two died together. Mother and sister were killed accidentally when a gas tap was not turned off and a candle was knocked down, causing the boathouse to explode. After coming back from the mental hospital, the girl, Anna thought that her sister, Alex was still alive and that the stepmother,Rachel, meant to kill the whole family and was actually Mildred Kemp, a serial killer. Anna begins to hallucinate even worse, imagining that her mother was trying to tell her that it was Rachel who had murdered her.
When her boyfriend Matt wanted to meet her at night, she pushes him off the rocks into the sea and imagined that it was Rachel who had killed him. Anna thought that Rachel, had killed Matt to silence him when it was she who had killed her mother and Alex. Then there were the Wright siblings. They were the victims of Mildred Kemp. They were stabbed repeatedly after being sedated. Anna keeps on seeing them. Anna went to the police station to report that Rachel was Mildred Kemp and the police officer thought that Anna was mentally unsound. In the end, Anna killed Rachel after being sedated and thinking that Rachel was going to kill her. This movie makes me think how serious a mental illness or trauma can affect a person. Is it serious enough to make him or her kill? This movie was quite horribly scary with all the sound effects but I liked it anyway because it stimulates imagination and thinking.
P.S. I got a nightmare after watching this show.
The entire CCA class should have been uninvited; kind of a waste of money. If this one caused nightmares, I suggest you stay away from this genre. But then again I guess being scared at the movies is part of growing up.
