Excellent
Wasn't sure what to expect from this one but it turned out to be REALLY good. I won't give too much away but if you're into any kind of movies that have people with special abilities you'll enjoy this story. Think "Firestarter" on steroids.The acting was well done and the cinematography and effects were too. The story itself, while a little bit slow paced at first gradually grows more intense and powerful. The little girl was excellent in her role. By the end I was on the edge of my seat(even though it was a little predictable). And, although it kind of left it open for a sequel, I'm not holding that against Hollywood in this one, cause Id watch it. REALLY worth a watch.

A young girl is seing looking through the window, everything looks to be at a stand still including the birds in the sky which appear to be paused mid flight. Her dad stops her and tells her that being seen would not be safe. Their house appears run down, there's no electricity and chloe and her dad keep practicing random scenarios on staying safe. There's not much going on but clearly something isn't right.
One day a young girl called Harper brings chloe an ice cream, but because she somehow knew chloes name, chloes dad assumed she had been outside and punishes her by locking her in the closet where chloe seemingly now has harper as an imaginary friend.
Chloes dad promises to get her ice cream if she never opens the door again, but when he returns he is injured and passes out. Chloe takes this opportunity to leave the house and befriends the ice cream man parked outside who turns out to be her grandfather, he informs chloe that she is special and her and him are going to try and bring her mum back.
From then on the movie gets weirder and weirder, chloe keeps seing different people in her closet including a sleep over at harpers House, and her mum chained up, she is also able to get inside peoples heads and force them to do things.
I found the movie took far too long to get to a point, 40 minutes to find out what freaks were and about an hour to find out about the powers and what they're capable of, and the ending...... Well I don't even understand what was going on there. If you don't like your brain to hurt during a movie I would stay clear.

Takes most of the movie to figure out what's going on. (0 more)
It is about a little girl who is not allowed to go outside, it's dangerous out there. You're wondering through half the movie, why can't she go outside cause everything seems normal out there. Without giving away anything, she does end up getting outside without her father seeing her and you learn what's actually going on. It is better than how I described it, but I didn't want to give it away. There are a couple of bloody parts in it too. It really was a good movie when you finally figured out what's going on.
