This movie is, for the first 2/3 of it's runtime, a storyline that's been done many times-the spooky tale of a possessed child doll. But wait, the doll isn't possessed at all. Embarrassed by his scars and desire to keep him free from prison the boys parents fake his death 20 prior and hide him away in the house where he stayed and grew into a man. A boy doll, created as a replica of their son presents as a way for his parents to cope with their loss. I'm guessing the loss of a perfect son who doesn't kill, because their son never actually died. Although I can guess why the boys parents left, there is no explanation for why they commit suicide. Another guess would be they couldn't bare to live with their son or the guilt of abandoning him. In all this was a good movie with a nice twist on an old storyline.

This flick is about an adopted kid who spends his life trying to live up to the self- exagerated expectations of his parents and school. While playing the "fake it til ya make it" fiddle to the ppl closest to him, the real Luce is brewing with hatred inside. The parents' willingness to sweep his mental illness and outrageous behavior under the rug speaks to how so many innocent ppl die each year at the hands of a gunman. The ending is what broke me on this movie. There was no acknowledgement that Luce is a minipulant nut-job.The parents simply decide to do nothing about the terrible realizations they've made about they're son and unleash his crazy ass into society. Too many unanswered questions and no indication there will be a sequel that could potentially save this failing end to the movie.

Very well made drama series. Every episode is great enough to be the season premiere or finale. Should be a soap opera. I'm hooked.
