The father is employed. The little girl almost deaf, the boy at the transition to puberty, the mother has lost a third child and tried to drown her sorrows in alcohol. Their trauma, they tried to fight through adoption. You opt for the native of Russia orphan Esther, type Snow White, well educated for her 9 years. She is instantly likeable father, the mother is persuaded. Esther comes to the new Zuhause und der Terror beginnt. Denn dort mausert sich das zuerst so zurückhaltende Ding zu einer Art Chucky-die Mörderpuppe. Was man erst als Psychose abtut, entwickelt sich schnell zum Verhängnis für die kleine Familie. Esther manipuliert, mobbt und mordet. Die Begründung für ihr Verhalten wird erst zum Schluss geliefert, sei hier jedoch nicht verraten.
Die große Stärke des Films sind die Schauspielerinnen. Allen voran Isabelle Fuhrman als Esther. Mit 13 Jahren als absolute Newcomerin schon so wandelbar in der Darstellung zu sein, mit einem perfekten russischen Akzent zu sprechen und das alles noch glaubwürdig rüber zu bringen, zeugt von großem Talent, und man darf hoffen, dass sie zu hope the winners of the future is one of Holywood. Vera Farmiga plays
Kate, the mother. Why is it for "Up in the air" nominierthat for best supporting actress Oscar for me is still a mystery, but for this film, they should have got it. It embodies the woman who is always striving to be a good wife and mother to be, and always comes perfectly to the personal boundaries. Kate is the character in the film probably will find their biological daughter claimed the most mentally. It is the only one who sees through Esther, no one will believe her, what fatal consequences ..
The third in the league is a little big. Aryana Engineer plays Maxine, the baby of the family. As in real life she is almost deaf in the movie can communicate with all only on sign language. Esther uses this helplessness of the little immediately for their purposes, and it fills you with horror when you consider what must look on that little man over the 120 minutes everything.
The first 60 minutes of the film are what the story relates to well done, logical and entertaining, then tipped the whole thing and it gets boring if you can call for a psychological horror film. Boring in the sense of predictability. Leave the level of psycho-drama, and now serves every cliché of a horror film. This director (Jaume Collet-Serra) and screenwriter (David Johnson) have applied a little too thick. I am not an expert when it comes to horror movies, but I have all those movies of the genre, which I had to watch so far, is found again. Too bad that one writes a first-thought script and then at the end so far is that the viewer says: "It was so clear that had to come now," This is the horror factor in the end is zero, the most exciting scenes were those when we Esther had not yet seen through completely. A plus, however, the second part of the film. Suitable for Esther's behavior had they all like her screen-killer colleagues by saying: Yes, the stop is insane, can shut, one does not, and provides viewers with a stunning explanation for their actions.
All in all, for people like me avoid that the horror film genre otherwise prefer a nice try to make us this kind of film palatable.
