Halle Berry is one of the greatest actors of our youth and they all did a good job including the boys of how they acted all so well..but they story line was very confusing because only the mother could see these creatures no one else, which eventually turned out like she was mentally unstable probably coz she was all alone as a mom so far away in the woods dad died probably if i recall right but she tourtured herself and those poor little kids for nothing, but besides that its not a bad movie ,I won't discourage anyone about this movie who knows you might like it alot and understand it better....enjoy
