Not a "horror" movie by any stretch of the word. But, this movie is heartbreaking. Parenting is difficult, especially with a high needs child as the baby in this film appeared to be. The film does a nice job showing the mental strain Eva was under from the time she became Kevin's mother. she lacked support from her husband, has no other support around and the doctor just brushed off her concerns when she took in her toddler. At one point, she outright abused him but does that mean this made him a killer ? Truth is, nobody leaves the hospital with a play book on how to be a parent, especially when the infant screams constantly and then turns into a toddler who seems to be equally as difficult as that screaming baby. This family needed therapy a long time ago
Burning question though....why did they cast a child who looks nothing like either parent ?
