  This movie stars Kate Bosworth (Straw Dogs, Superman Returns), Thomas Jane (The Punisher) and Jacob Tremblay (Wonder and Good Boys) this was directed by Mike Flanagan (Oculus and Hush).

     This horror movie was one of the better horror movies I've seen in a long time. This had all the feels from laughing to crying to oh my God what the hell is  going on moments. There were definitely jump-scare moments and things that happen that definitely got under your skin.

All of the actors and actresses did a very good job in their part, Kate Bosworth was very much believable as a mourning mother looking for a child to fill the hole. As always Thomas G was on point. He's got a very emotional face as he's trying to act out these scenes. Up-and-comer Jacob Tremblay did a very good job as Cody believably scared and had very good composure throughout the whole movie.  I feel we'll see a lot more of this kid. The visual effects were stunning and entrancing and Netflix did a great job with this movie and I hope to see more from this hopefully this spawns into a series because there could be a lot that could come from this strange ability.


In this month's October horror series I have to give this a 5 out of 5! 


I loved it, it was a great horror movie and it wasn't too gory that you can't watch it with significant others cuz I know my wife is squeamish. I still wouldn't recommend watching this with your kids but it was a great movie,  good pacing good acting and well written. This type of horror movie wants to bring you everything! 

          Well nerds thank you for reading and I hope you will give this movie a chance it is really worth it, and as always we will see you on the other side.
