No high intense drama, no arc of trauma, not a fabulous storytelling Great choose of characters, that they are not conventional looking making them more attractive, real, everyday, great idea to connect with the everyday audience member. Similar to an apology to drug abuse and teenage party rituals. Good stuff; the cinematography. Aaron those a great job using natural light. Good composition. Great use of the scenery. Story wise was a bit of a letdown. There's no elevation of anything. Is it better than the average Netflix millionaire productions, by a clear mile yes. I was very connected with the story the first 30 min, after started to fade. I would it had deleted many scenes and add some other ones. I guess there was a bit of over exposure in many of the plot lines but that's the issue that it really tried hard to tell a compelling story but it felt disjointed and broken, (not intended, I believe). Overall not the best scary Aussie film. Still the babadook being the best. With a very compelling and emotional story of trauma.
