    Storyline

    • Trivia
      The opening sequence displays the activities of an avian (bird) brood parasite, which are organisms that rely on others to raise their young. The brood parasite manipulates a host, either of the same or of another species, to raise its young as if it were its own, using brood mimicry, for example by having eggs (or pudgy, weird babies) that resemble the host's. This behavior relieves the parasitic parents from the investment of rearing young. Some bird species mitigate the risk of egg loss by distributing eggs among a number of different hosts.

      When Gemma and Tom are leaving in their silver VW, the car is shown with alloy wheels. During a close-up a moment later, the alloys have switched to plastic hubcaps, and then back to alloys.

      Gemma: Did you see the boy?

      Tom: No.

      Gemma: He's gone missing.

      Tom: Well, so have we.

    Would have made a good short film
    Unfortunately there's not enough substance here to fill up an entire feature film. There's A LOT of padding. For example the scene where they're listening to ska music in the car. It doesn't add anything much to the movie. It feels like the actors were told to just make up a dialogue on the spot.

    For a movie of this kind to sustain our attention for a full hour and a half there needs to be more than just the initial concept. Unfortunatley there's not. There's no twist. There's no second act. There's a really interesting "nightmare"-type scene towards the end which feels for a moment like the movie's finally going somewhere. But then it dissipates and we're left with nothing much once more.

    Why didn't the protagonists try and decipher the book that was delivered? Surely that was a vital clue? What caused their health to fail? Why didn't they try breaking into other houses on the street? I wanted these characters to fight to the death but they really went out with a wimper.

    Could have been great.... but wasn't. Watch "the Platform" instead if you want surreal horror with a message.
