    Hard to say you really like this movie because of its subject matter ...but it was so well done from the acting to the story. All I can say is disturbing and uncomfortably so...

    This was an excellent movie....made you think of what would a parent do in a situation like this. It was very dark, & very well acted. I felt sooooo sorry for the mom. She tried, & tried to connect with him, but guess he was just born a bad seed. It had a profound effect on me, & I couldn't stop thinking about it days & days after watching this film. Very eerie, as things like this can easily happen. I would suggest this movie to parents, teachers, psychologists, anyone who deals with children, so they can spot signs of a problem. Great movie.
