Make no mistake that this movie is extremely well made. The production is tight. The direction and cinematography are excellent. The acting is good. The film score is spot on. The script feels eerily accurate.
However, when a child is actually involved in a scene of horror and not just witnessing it through the magic of cutaways and editing, it borders on inappropriate. But this film decides to "go there". Other than that, it's a fascinating look into the behavior of psychotics.
The story is lifted from true events, and I do mean lifted. This is fiction, folks. You can draw all the parallels you want to what actually happened, but it will always, always fall short of the truth.
Not for those who don't enjoy how far the depth of black comedy goes.
