David Collins approaches the Peterson family claiming to be an old war friend of their eldest son, Caleb. Shortly after the Peterson family allows him to stay with them, several accidental deaths occur that improve their lives. Anna Peterson, the oldest sister, is the only one who believes that these accidental deaths are connected to David.

This film was directed by Adam Wingard. This film is an action thriller that harkens back to an eighties film feel. There are plenty of action thrills and dark sequences to make this film entertaining. The ending felt satisfactory, but felt like it could've been more. However, it is very predictable. Naturally, there is plenty of violence, but I wouldn't call it gorey. I will say that this film features a group of very unintelligent characters. Maika Monroe played the role of Anne Peterson. Even though she played a typical rebellious daughter role, she gave the film its heart and some humor. Dan Stevens played the role of David Collins. His on screen presence made the character. Brendan Meyer played the role of Luke Peterson. His character was made too typical of the outcast teenager, and his performance suited the character.

This film can be seen on Netflix Instant Que.

I give this film 3 out of 5 stars! It is a great thriller film that feels too typical.

Answer to last blog: Actor Jeremy Sumpter played the role of Peter Pan in the 2003 film Peter Pan.
