An effective horror film that uses grief and the stresses of parenthood (in particular single parenthood) as its underlying themes. What I really enjoyed the film was the ambiguity of the monster. Is the mother going crazy? Is she able to come to an accord with herself and her demons? Plenty of food for thought. Strong recommend.
